Question 1

O que o Banco Topázio fez de errado?

Accepted Answer

Between October 2020 and September 2021, Topázio processed $1.7 billion in over-the-counter crypto purchases for 15 corporate clients without adequate due diligence and failed to report suspicious transactions to Brazil's financial intelligence unit.

Question 2

As pessoas no Brasil ainda podem comprar e negociar criptomoedas?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The ban only applies to Topázio's institutional foreign exchange operations tied to crypto, and the broader settlement ban under Resolution 561 targets fintechs and payment firms. Individual investors can still buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrency through authorized virtual asset service providers.

Question 3

Quando entra em vigor a proibição do Brasil contra a liquidação de stablecoins em pagamentos transfronteiriços?

Accepted Answer

Resolution BCB No. 561, which prohibits electronic foreign exchange providers from settling overseas remittances with stablecoins or other cryptocurrencies, takes effect on October 1, 2026, with compliance deadlines extending into 2027.
