Brazil's cryptocurrency exchanges must apply for operating licenses by October 30, 2026, under a new regulatory framework established in November 2025. The compliance process involves high capital requirements and complex obligations, with companies that miss the deadline required to cease operations within 30 days. Major exchanges like Coinbase and Binance have submitted their applications, but compliance costs are threatening smaller players. Regulatory clarity is lacking, particularly regarding self-custodial wallets and international transfer limits. The Central Bank of Brazil will review applications, which may take up to two years, leaving the market in a state of uncertainty as companies navigate these new rules.
