Brazil will introduce a comprehensive cryptocurrency regulatory framework in February 2026, as announced by the Central Bank of Brazil (BCB). The new regulations will include licensing requirements, enhanced anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CFT) rules, and mandatory segregation of customer assets. This initiative aims to balance innovation with consumer protection and financial stability, aligning Brazil with global standards. The phased implementation of these regulations provides businesses with nearly two years to prepare for compliance. This move positions Brazil as a leader in digital asset regulation within Latin America, reflecting a commitment to fostering a secure and innovative financial environment.
