Brazil's Central Bank will mandate regulated institutions to delay certain virtual asset transfers for 24 hours starting January 1, 2027. This review window applies automatically to transfers exceeding US$10,000 or through risk-based criteria, aiming to strengthen fraud control and oversight of high-risk crypto movements abroad or to self-custody wallets.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 8 sources have reported it between 8 Aug 2026 and 10 Aug 2026.
