Brazilian folks, pay attention: starting November 1, when transferring funds to/from abroad on Binance, you’ll have to complete the “assignment” first 📝
On October 2, Binance sent a notice to Brazilian users. Under Brazil’s Central Bank Resolução BCB 521/2025, a new process for cross-border virtual asset transfers has been rolled out. In one sentence: once the coin leaves the country, it’s treated as foreign-exchange business.
Key points:
1️⃣ Scope: Transfers between you and non-residents are covered—including sending to your own account at an overseas exchange. Transfers within Brazil aren’t affected.
2️⃣ Withdrawal: You must first fill in the purpose + the type of counterparty. If you don’t complete the questionnaire, withdrawals can’t be submitted.
3️⃣ Deposits: Coins coming in from overseas will be held pending credit. They’ll only be credited after you补完 the information; if the information is incomplete, in some cases the funds may be returned.
4️⃣ Categorization: For amounts ≤ $50,000, choose from 10 purposes; for larger amounts, pick from 96 categories. Corporate accounts must also state whether the counterparty is part of the same corporate group.
5️⃣ Limits: If the counterparty isn’t a Brazil-authorized FX institution, some transfers have a per-transaction cap of $100,000.
6️⃣ Self-custody wallet: Just confirm it’s your own—no need to fill in the purpose.
7️⃣ Binance will report monthly to Brazil’s Central Bank. This is separate from the Travel Rule: the latter is planned to regulate domestic activity in 2027 and cross-border activity in 2028.
My take:
Last month, Brazil’s Central Bank issued 588/589—transfers from self-custody wallets ≥ $10,000 had to be reported to Coaf. Now 521 directly turns into a pop-up “form” inside the exchange app. Brazil’s playbook is clear: they don’t ban crypto, but they funnel that
$BTC $USDT of cross-border liquidity into the FX regulatory framework—every transaction needs a “reason.”
For regular users: click a few more times, take it a bit slower, and you’ll feel it in the experience—like a tax.
For cross-exchange transfers, OTC, and market-making: the $100,000 per-transaction cap on outbounds plus the “pending deposit” hold is the kind of cost you really need to count.
Compliance is becoming basic infrastructure, not news—it’s daily life. Don’t just filter it out; Brazilian users should run through the process themselves in advance.
