Méliuz shuts down Bitcoin trading in app, keeps corporate BTC treasury
- —Users with BTC balances must liquidate positions by October 30
- —Decision driven by higher compliance costs under new central bank rules effective February 2, 2026
- —Corporate Bitcoin treasury stays in place, with commitment to BTC Yield maintained
- —The feature was minor, used by only a small share of the user base
Why it matters: Regulatory pressure from Brazil's central bank is pushing firms to exit retail crypto services while preserving institutional Bitcoin exposure.
