Binance to require transfer purpose and counterparty details in Brazil from Nov. 1
Binance will mandate that Brazilian users disclose the purpose and counterparty information for cross-border crypto transfers starting Nov. 1, with monthly reporting required under Brazilian central bank regulations.
Starting Nov. 1, Binance will require Brazilian users who send crypto abroad or receive funds from nonresidents to disclose the purpose of each transfer and specify the counterparty type, according to a CryptoSlate report cited by Wu Blockchain. Withdrawals cannot be submitted until users complete a questionnaire, while deposits lacking the necessary details may remain pending or be returned to the sender.[2][3]
The exchange will report these transactions monthly to Brazil's central bank in accordance with Resolution BCB No. 521/2025, which integrates international virtual-asset transactions into the domestic foreign-exchange framework. For transfers up to $50,000, users will choose from a 10-purpose list, while transfers exceeding that amount require classification under one of 96 categories. In addition, corporate accounts must declare whether the counterparty belongs to the same economic group, and certain transfers are capped at $100,000 if the counterparty is unauthorized in Brazil's foreign-exchange market.[2]
Transfers between Brazilian residents remain exempt from the disclosure policy. Crypto Briefing noted that the new transfer requirements may increase regulatory compliance costs and diminish the operational efficiency of cross-border crypto activity.[1][2][3]
