Central Bank of Brazil Unveils Major Institutional Crypto Regulation Through 2027
The Central Bank of Brazil has introduced draft rules to license and supervise institutional crypto infrastructure providers, marking a phased regulatory rollout set to complete by 2027. The framework targets business-to-business virtual asset service providers, imposing formal authorization requirements and stricter anti-money laundering controls.
Institutional participants—firms managing custody, settlement, and tokenization for financial institutions—will face expanded supervisory procedures between 2026 and 2027. The MOVE aims to align crypto activity with Brazil's broader financial oversight regime, addressing compliance gaps in decentralized and private networks.
