The Central Bank of Brazil publicly solicits opinions on the formulation of rules for virtual asset service providers

The Central Bank of Brazil is preparing to release final rules for virtual asset service providers (VASPs) operating in the country. Based on feedback received after the approval and recognition of the Cryptocurrency Asset Law in December 2023, the institution has begun publicly soliciting opinions from market participants and individuals to develop rules that VASPs must comply with. The bank has launched a survey consisting of 38 questions that respondents can choose to answer in full or in part, and indicate the numbers and themes they would like to see addressed in their statements.
