Brazil’s central bank is enforcing stronger anti-fraud regulations for cryptocurrency transfers with a $10,000 threshold triggering a 24-hour delay.

Brazil’s cryptocurrency market reached $318 billion in value between July 2024 and June 2025, accounting for roughly one-third of Latin America’s total.

Demand for cryptocurrency assets in Brazil surged 135% year-over-year in H1 2026, rising from $6.24 billion to $14.68 billion.
