Itaú Unibanco, Brazil's largest private bank, filed for cryptocurrency trading and custody business with the Central Bank of Brazil on October 27, becoming the first bank in the country to complete this filing under the new digital asset regulations. The new regulations allow banks already authorized by the central bank to offer crypto services through a notification process, while dedicated virtual asset service providers must apply for operating licenses. The deadline for existing institutions to file or apply is October 30. Itaú Unibanco has been offering crypto services since December 2023 and currently supports 15 crypto assets.
