Brazilian digital banks Nubank and Mercado Pago suspend some crypto transactions
According to Bloomberg, Brazilian digital bank Nubank said it had temporarily suspended cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals in Brazil due to an issue with an external service provider. Its other crypto asset products are operating normally. Mercado Pago, the digital financial services platform controlled by Mercado Libre Inc., said a security incident at a provider of risk-monitoring and anti-money-laundering services had caused instability in crypto asset transfers. The company added that, as a precaution, it had blocked some transfers to external wallets.
