Brazil Tightens Crypto Oversight: New Rules Mandate Reporting for Self-Custody Transfers Exceeding $10,000

The Central Bank of Brazil has published Resolution BCB No. 588, introducing stringent anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) reporting mandates.

  • Brazil's Central Bank has implemented Resolution BCB No. 588, requiring financial institutions to report self-custody crypto transfers exceeding $10,000.
  • This new regulation aims to enhance AML/CTF oversight by targeting transactions involving non-custodial wallets, with reporting due by the next business day.
  • While not banning self-custody, the rules increase operational burdens for market participants and highlight the tension between financial self-sovereignty and regulatory compliance.
