Brazil's Central Bank Orders Exchanges to Delay Large Crypto Transfers Abroad
The rule targets transfers above $10,000 and lets exchanges release funds sooner if risk checks show no wrongdoing.
- On Aug 7, Brazil's central bank announced that some crypto transfers over $10,000 will face 24-hour delays starting Jan 1, 2027 under new anti-fraud rules.
- The central bank stated the move reflects growing use of virtual assets to quickly move money obtained through financial scams before victims or institutions can recover them.
- Transfers exceeding $10,000, whether in a single transaction or through several on the same day, are subject to the hold; smaller transfers may also face delays if flagged as risky.
- Exchanges must document risk decisions and notify customers when transactions are placed on hold, though they can release funds before 24 hours if reviews find no wrongdoing.
- Under Resolution BCB, exchanges face increased responsibility for judging risk based on customer, transaction, counterparty, and destination jurisdiction, mandating closer scrutiny of transactions.
