🚨🚨🚨Cryptocurrency regulation won't stop here, says consultant to the Central Bank of Brazil 🇧🇷💩
About to regulate cryptocurrency brokers, the Central Bank of Brazil is already keeping an eye on the ecosystem to remain alert to the risks that it believes require greater oversight.
In a lecture this Wednesday (20), during the panel “Central Bank: Guidelines for Cryptoassets in 2025”, at the Criptorama event, Antonio Marcos Fonte Guimarães (Consultant at the Office of the Department of Regulation of the Financial System of the Central Bank), spoke about some points that the BCB is currently studying.
According to Antonio, the central bank was considering allowing the cryptocurrency market to adopt self-regulation. However, when Facebook decided to launch its own cryptocurrency, Libra, regulators turned on the alert.
Although Facebook's cryptocurrency never reached the market, with the project abandoned years ago, the BCB consultant recalls that another event impacted the market in 2019.

🚨🚨🚨Digital real will not increase state control, says Drex coordinator 💩💩💩 During the Criptorama 2024 event, promoted by the Brazilian Cryptoeconomics Association (Abcripto), Drex coordinator at the Central Bank, Fabio Araujo, stated that the digital real, known as Drex, will not increase the Central Bank's control or visibility over the population's personal finances.
As Araujo emphasized, Drex's operation will be decentralized, conducted by several “nodes” managed by financial institutions participating in the pilot project.
According to a report by Valor Econômico, Araujo explained that Drex does not adopt a state-mandated know-your-customer (KYC) process for all users. According to him, the network operates with pseudo-anonymity and can be enhanced with zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) solutions. In practice, this would make it difficult to individually analyze transactions.
“The participants operate us and we do not perform KYC on anyone. Only the banks have access to this data, as is the case today,” he stated.
The Drex project is currently in its second phase, with registrations open for new consortiums until November 29. Araujo stressed the importance of the entry of new participants to further decentralize the system, which is currently made up mostly of large banks. Source: CriptoFácil

What is QVM and how does it accelerate Web3 development?
QVM (QAN Virtual Machine) is a first-of-its-kind blockchain VM that runs statically linked ELF Linux binaries as smart contracts, providing a deterministic and secure environment. 🔐 Each contract runs in a CPU-level sandbox, with QVM’s synthetic Linux kernel translating non-deterministic system calls into compatible versions.
The cool part? Developers can write smart contracts in virtually any language that compiles for Linux, bypassing the quirks typical of blockchain-specific languages. This opens up huge possibilities for DeFi and Layer 2 projects, with huge gains in developer accessibility, scalability, and performance.
