Itaú Unibanco notified Brazil’s central bank of its crypto trading and custody activities on October 27, according to the newspaper Valor Econômico. The move brings the service, which has been available since December 2023, into the country’s new regulatory framework. The bank helps customers buy and sell cryptoassets and hold them on their behalf, activities that fall within the brokerage category defined by Brazilian rules. Itaú now lists 15 cryptoassets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and the USDC stablecoin. The requirements, which took effect in February 2026, cover customer protection, transparency, financial-crime prevention, governance and security.
