Election years in Brazil follow a pattern that repeats every time. And it’s not about who will win, but how the market reacts.
I’ll explain in 3 points what really matters for your money:
1. The dollar rises before, not after.
In an election year, fiscal uncertainty leads foreign investors to pull money out of Brazil. Less dollars here = a more expensive dollar. That’s why you’ve seen USDT and USD on Binance rise so much in recent months. It’s no coincidence.
2. Interest rates and crypto move together.
If the government promises to spend more, the Central Bank keeps interest rates high to control inflation. High interest rates in the U.S. and Brazil make investors more cautious, so they sell risky assets like Bitcoin and altcoins. That’s why so many small altcoins like BREV and JOJO fell 80%.
3. Your PIX is worth less.
Inflation tends to rise during election years because money is injected into the economy. Your R$30 today buys less than it did six months ago. Leaving money sitting in BRL in your exchange account means losing purchasing power.
What should you do in practice?
• Don’t leave everything sitting in BRL. Convert it to USDT and earn yield with Earn/Flexible while you decide. • Don’t panic-sell an altcoin at an 80% loss just to cash out. Hold on and wait for a rally. • Understand the fee: withdrawing via PIX has a fixed fee of R$3.50. Withdraw a small amount and you pay a lot. Save up a larger amount and withdraw it all at once, like you did.
Elections come and go, but the economy remains. Those who understand the cycle don’t lose money in a panic.
