📰 Brazil expands its crypto product lineup, and the main characters aren’t exchanges, but traditional banks like Itaú, Bradesco, Santander, Banco do Brasil, Nubank, and others.
Earlier on, these banks mainly supported Bitcoin; now they’ve expanded to more than a dozen tokens, along with multiple related funds and ETFs. Their product offerings also include Ether and stablecoins like USDC that are pegged to the U.S. dollar. For everyday users, the entry point to buying crypto assets really is getting closer.
🔥 But the banks themselves aren’t actually going heavy on these positions. More often, they’re providing custody and intermediary services. On their balance sheets, they hardly hold proprietary crypto assets. Honestly, this attitude is quite realistic: they can offer products and earn service fees without rushing to put their own money in.
💡 Starting in 2026, the Central Bank of Brazil will officially regulate virtual-asset service providers, requiring clearer oversight. Once the regulatory framework becomes more defined, banks will be more willing to put these products on the shelves—which makes all this feel a lot less surprising.
👀 For individual investors, experts recommend keeping crypto-asset allocation to between 1% and 3% of total assets, for a very direct reason: volatility is high and the risk is high. Unexpectedly, while traditional banks are expanding their offerings, they themselves are more restrained than users. Will you keep your crypto allocation within 1% to 3%?
