Banco Central do Brasil (BCB), Brazil’s central bank, has published separate directories for virtual-asset applicants and eligible institutions, helping the public distinguish applications from existing permissions to operate.
The first directory names providers that have applied for authorization to offer virtual-asset services; their inclusion does not confirm approval. The second covers financial and other institutions the BCB has authorized to operate and that are eligible to provide those services.
Resolution BCB 520/2025 governs virtual-asset service providers and the provision of those services by other institutions authorized by the central bank. The bank said the directories give residents and businesses a public way to consult information on the sector.
The BCB said entries will change as authorization cases progress and qualifying institutions contact the regulator. It has not announced a date for the next update.
