SUMMARY:

This study examines digital financialization as an extension of the financialized regime, analyzing its impact on Brazil's economic system and its global implications. Drawing on a heterodox perspective influenced by Marxist and Post-Keynesian approaches, the research investigates how advancements in digital technologies have intensified financialization processes, heightening challenges and exacerbating their economic and social effects. The study begins by exploring financialization as a historically situated process, characterized by a shift from a production-driven regime to one dominated by finance, where fictitious capital and speculation play central roles in accumulation. It then considers digital financialization as an evolution of this regime, highlighting the role of technological innovations—such as automated trading, crypto-assets, and economic platformization—in reshaping financial markets and expanding financialization’s reach. Particular attention is given to the role of the State as a key promoter of financial digitalization and the capture of public policy by financialized agendas, especially in developing economies. In the Brazilian context, initiatives such as PIX, the Digital Real, and Open Finance are analyzed, focusing on their effects on financial inclusion, data economies, and market reorganization. The findings reveal that while digital financialization introduces opportunities for innovation, it also deepens inequalities, destabilizes local economies, and exacerbates systemic instability risks. The study concludes that regulatory and public policy efforts must prioritize social justice and safeguard the real economy against the pressures and impacts of financialized logics
