Brasil Bitcoin files for central bank license via Brasil 8 amid shareholder dispute

  • —Filing submitted Oct. 15 via Brasil 8's CNPJ, not Brasil Bitcoin's
  • —Central bank deadline for the license application is Oct. 30
  • —Crus holds 40%, Castellari and Almeida hold 60%
  • —Shareholder meeting to expel Crus scheduled for Oct. 23
Why it matters: The ownership fight could derail licensing for one of Brazil's largest exchanges and put client operations at risk.
