Olá pessoal!
Today’s interview is with another legal expert exploring new developments on the regulatory front in Brazil.
Tatiana Guazzelli is a partner at Pinheiro Neto Advogados, which is one of Brazil’s largest and most prominent law firms and represents some of the top crypto companies operating in the country.
Tatiana provides important perspective on the many simultaneous movements happening with regard to crypto regulation in the country.
These developments include:
The Central Bank’s proposed VASP licensing structure, which includes a three-tiered licensing system for crypto service providers: intermediaries, custodians, and brokers
Asset segregation legislation advancing through Congress that would enable the Central Bank to require exchanges to separate customer assets as part of its licensing regime
The Receita Federal is overhauling its tax reporting requirements for crypto assets
The CVM is expected to issue a public consultation regarding rules for tokenized securities offerings
The Central Bank will a separate public consultation in 2025 focused on stablecoin regulation

These regulatory movements are a positive sign that Brazil is committed to balancing innovation with consumer protection. Key implementation challenges remain, however, such as enforcement of asset segregation rules, transition periods (and criteria) for grandfathering existing operators into the Central Bank’s licensing regime, and coordination among different regulatory bodies.
Tatiana reckons that the Central Bank will release its VASP licensing framework by mid-2025, with a 2-3 year processing period for granting licenses.
For companies looking to enter the Brazilian market, early positioning and engagement with the regulatory process could be advantageous.
I found this conversation with Tatiana to be super insightful and I hope you do as well. You can connect with her on Linkedin.
Have a great day everyone!
