Proposed Restrictions on Stablecoin Transfers to Self-Hosted Wallets and Cryptocurrency Foreign Exchange Transactions in Brazil
The Banco Central do Brasil has published a consultation outlining proposed regulations for the use of cryptocurrencies in cross-border payments and foreign exchange transactions. According to the document, institutions authorized to manage such transactions are typically financial institutions and authorized exchange brokers that hold specific licenses from the Central Bank and operate within Brazil’s regulatory framework for foreign exchange and crypto assets.
However, no explicit list of authorized institutions for this specific role is publicly detailed in the search results. The Central Bank supervises these entities to ensure compliance in foreign exchange trading and cryptocurrency handling. For precise authorized entities, direct consultation of Banco Central do Brasil’s official registry or regulatory announcements would be necessary.
One of the key proposals in the consultation is the restriction of the use of foreign currency stablecoins for domestic payments. The central bank also intends to ban the transfer of foreign currency stablecoins to domestic self-hosted wallets. This restriction has garnered attention from the cryptocurrency community, as it could potentially impact the use of foreign currency stablecoins in Brazil.
The self-hosted wallet restriction has attracted attention due to the potential for money transferred to these wallets to be moved abroad without reporting. This could potentially bypass regulations and monitoring, which the central bank aims to keep a close eye on in cross-border payments.
The consultation also suggests that only Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) authorized to deal in foreign exchange can conduct cryptocurrency transactions for cross-border payments and foreign exchange purposes. This proposal could impact the competition in the cryptocurrency sector, as only authorized VASPs would be allowed to facilitate such transactions.
The Banco Central do Brasil's consultation offers deeper insights for professionals seeking comprehensive articles and legislative updates on the regulation of cryptocurrencies in Brazil. The central bank's proposals are intended to provide clarity and ensure compliance in the use of cryptocurrencies for cross-border payments and foreign exchange transactions within Brazil's regulatory framework.
