Brazil Virtual Asset Regulatory Playbook

As of 2 February 2026, the Central Bank of Brazil’s (BCB) new rules for virtual asset service providers (SPSAVs) apply. This is the first major regulatory milestone of 2026 and a turning point for one of the world’s most important crypto markets.

To mark this milestone and help the market navigate what comes next, we’re excited to publish a new Brazil Travel Rule & Regulatory Implementation Guide, co-authored with Veirano Advogados—one of Brazil’s leading law firms and a reference point in fintech and digital asset regulation—and ABToken, the Brazilian association for tokenization and digital asset market development.

The guide covers:

• The SPSAV framework and supervisory timelines
• A detailed overview of Travel Rule obligations
• How FX reporting and Travel Rule requirements intersect
• A practical implementation roadmap outlining what firms should be building now to stay ahead of 2026–2028 enforcement milestones
