Brazil’s central bank delays crypto regulation deadline to end of 2024
The central bank of Brazil has decided to enact the regulations about crypto and digital assets in stages, extending the previous deadline from June 2024 to the end of the year.
In 2022, a law was passed regarding the implementation of regulatory features following the suggestions made by the central bank in Brazil. Further stipulations mentioned by the director of regulation at the bank, Octavio Damaso, stated that the entire procedure would be closed by June 2024.
Following a public discourse related to the issue towards the end of last year, the central bank came out with a fresh proposal for another round of discourse sometime in the latter half of 2024.
As per the bank, the initial discourse will entail collecting public feedback and looking closely into factors overlooked in 2022, such as asset separation regarding virtual assets and service providers.
As per the bank, in this scenario, it is imperative to have pre and post detailed discourses on regulation related aspects, since the virtual asset space requires a well formulated framework which is effective in the long run.
The following discourse will include the penning down of regulatory features by utilizing information gathered from the previous discourse. There is also a requirement of gaining the confidence of all connected and concerned parties on all matters.
