Brazil's central bank mandates a 24-hour hold on crypto withdrawals above $10,000 starting January 1, 2027, to combat money laundering and fraud, requiring providers to assess user risk and notify users of delays.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Brazilian crypto firms must update withdrawal processes and risk assessments by early 2027 to avoid penalties. The 24-hour hold opens a window to catch fraud but also slows liquidity for higher-value transactions.
