Central Bank of Brazil published new regulations for virtual‑asset service providers, extending anti‑money‑laundering and counter‑terrorism financing rules to crypto exchanges and stable‑coin trading. Foreign‑exchange and securities brokers involved in fiat‑pegged tokens will now be treated as foreign‑exchange operators. The rules come amid rising crypto usage in Brazil and government concerns over stable‑coins circumventing regulated financial systems. The measures take effect in February 2026 and include transparency, governance and internal‑control requirements. The move signals Latin America’s growing focus on crypto regulation and aims to bolster investor protection and system integrity.
