Brazil Takes Bold Lead in Crypto Regulation with Strict Stablecoin Rules

Brazil’s Central Bank has positioned the country ahead of the U.S. in crypto regulation by implementing stringent stablecoin rules. The new framework restricts transfers, particularly those involving foreign currency-backed stablecoins, to enhance security and consumer protection.

Transfers to self-custody wallets now face strict limitations, aiming to prevent capital flight to non-Brazilian entities. The regulations also mandate robust reserve requirements for stablecoin issuers.

Itaú Unibanco, Brazil’s largest private bank, is exploring a stablecoin launch under these new rules—a sign institutional players are adapting to the regulated environment.
