Brazil’s central bank has proposed a mandatory 24-hour holding period for stablecoin transactions exceeding $10K, giving virtual asset service providers additional time to verify customer information and assess transaction risks before releasing funds.
Under the proposal, exchanges and crypto service providers would use the holding period to conduct risk analysis and ensure transactions match a customer’s financial profile.
However, funds could be released earlier if compliance checks are completed before the 24-hour period ends. The proposal is part of Brazil’s broader effort to strengthen anti-money laundering controls while supporting the safe development of its digital asset market.
Regulators stressed that the temporary hold is purely precautionary and does not permanently restrict customer access to their assets. If adopted, the framework could become another important benchmark for stablecoin regulation in Latin America.
