Brazil's Federal Police seized approximately $14 million in cryptocurrency assets linked to criminal activities in 2025, marking a more than sixfold increase from 2024. The confiscated assets were associated with cases involving drug trafficking, cybercrime, environmental offenses, and money laundering. Investigations into Pix infrastructure hacks and money laundering networks led to the seizure of Bitcoin and stablecoins.
Despite the significant increase, the $14 million represents only a small fraction of Brazil's declared crypto market transactions. In 2025, the country reported approximately $100 billion in crypto transactions to tax authorities, highlighting the vast scale of the market compared to the seized assets.
