Brazil: fewer than 10% of crypto firms to seek central bank license by Oct. 30

  • 20-25 companies will apply for PSAV licenses, with about 10 expected to be approved
  • The application deadline is Oct. 30, with closure within 30 days for those that miss it
  • Capital requirements range from 10.8 million to 37.2 million reais
  • Bitnuvem, NovaDAX, Digitra and Coinext have already closed or wound down retail operations
Why it matters: Consolidation in Brazil's market will reduce competition and service availability, but increase the reliability of licensed platforms.
