Brazil now requires exchanges to delay big crypto transfers overseas

Brazil's central bank has told crypto exchanges operating there that large transfers of crypto to foreign destinations need to be delayed rather than processed instantly. This gives regulators a window to review transactions before the funds leave the country, likely as part of anti-fraud and anti-money-laundering efforts.

If you use a Brazilian exchange to send crypto abroad, a big transaction might take longer than usual to go through, so it's worth planning ahead rather than assuming instant transfers.

No action needed unless you're actively moving large sums out of Brazil through an exchange—if so, just expect delays and check your exchange's specific rules.
