Deep Tide TechFlow News, on November 30, according to Cryptoslate, the Central Bank of Brazil (BCB) announced a regulatory proposal that prohibits centralized exchanges from allowing users to withdraw stablecoins to self-custody wallets. According to the public consultation notice, the transfer of stablecoins (referred to as 'tokens denominated in foreign currency') between residents will be restricted, given that Brazilian law already allows payments in foreign currency.
This move is part of the crypto regulatory bill approved by Brazil in December 2022, which assigns BCB the responsibility for setting the rules for the country's crypto industry. The public consultation will last until February 28, 2025, during which market participants can share their opinions with the regulatory body. However, BCB can override opinions and act as described in the document.
