Brazil imposes up to 24-hour hold on crypto transfers above $10,000
Brazil's central bank ordered crypto exchanges to delay transfers above $10,000 to foreign platforms or self-custody wallets for up to 24 hours, effective January 1, 2027, targeting fraud and money laundering.
Why it matters for the crypto market
Major emerging-market crypto regulation; delays on large outbound transfers reduce on-ramp and off-ramp speed and convenience for Brazilian users and may drive regulatory precedent globally.
