Brazil's central bank just imposed capital controls: starting January 1, 2027, large crypto transfers abroad face a 24-hour delay.
This hits transfers over $10,000, or smaller ones flagged as risky. The official line: curbing fraud. Our read: slowing capital flight.
Brazil's Real is volatile. This rule makes it harder for locals to move wealth into crypto quickly, especially stablecoins, which the central bank specifically called out. It's consumer protection on paper, but it's really about keeping money in the country.
Would you keep funds on a mid-tier exchange right now?
