Brazil to Report $10K+ Self-Custody Crypto Transfers

Brazil’s Central Bank will require regulated crypto firms to report virtual asset transfers of $10,000 or more to or from self-custody wallets to Coaf starting October 1, 2026.

The rule is a reporting requirement, not a ban or transaction limit, and applies in both directions between regulated platforms and self-custody wallets.

A separate measure taking effect in January 2027 will allow qualifying transfers to self-custody wallets to be held for up to 24 hours for fraud-risk analysis.
