According to ChainCatcher, market sources indicate that the Central Bank of Brazil has issued new regulations requiring licensed cryptocurrency exchanges to submit daily reports starting January 1, 2027, demonstrating sufficient funds to address risks such as hacker attacks and to fulfill data protection and confidentiality obligations in accordance with commercial banking standards.
The new regulations also require exchanges to completely separate their own fiat currency accounts from their crypto asset accounts and customer asset accounts, and to include crypto assets in their balance sheets in accordance with specialized accounting manuals. Furthermore, regulators will impose restrictions and audits on cross-border transfers and improve the traceability of on-chain fund flows to curb the use of crypto assets for money laundering, tax evasion, and financing criminal activities.
