The Central Bank of Brazil has issued Resolution No. 561, revising the eFX rules for cross-border payment services. The new regulations specify that eFX cross-border payments must be conducted via foreign exchange transactions or non-resident Real accounts, and the use of virtual assets is prohibited. Additionally, the limit for single digital payments and investment-related cross-border transfers is set at $10,000. The rules also strengthen KYC, information retention (10 years), and data reporting requirements, while allowing banks, brokers, and payment institutions to provide these services. This resolution will take effect on October 1, 2026. https://(wublock123.com)/news/brazil-central-bank-bans-crypto-in-regulated-cross-border-payments-60409
