Brazil Implements 24-Hour Delay for Large Cryptocurrency Transfers

The Central Bank of Brazil announced that from January 1, 2027, all cryptocurrency transfers over $10,000 will be subject to a 24-hour delay. This regulation applies to self-custody wallets and foreign crypto companies, including stablecoins. Operators will be required to either approve or reject the transfer after the delay, based on verification. This measure is designed as a control tool rather than a ban, potentially serving as a model for other countries seeking to address crypto-related fraud without outright banning self-managed wallets.
