Brazil's central bank pre-approval list has only six crypto exchanges

  • —Only six companies appear on the central bank's pre-approval list
  • —Major exchanges such as Binance, OKX and FoxBit are not yet listed
  • —Unapproved platforms must close within 30 days after October 30, 2026
  • —OKX, Binance, Bybit, KuCoin and Mercado Bitcoin are hiring compliance staff
Why it matters: Brazil is one of Latin America's largest crypto markets, and the new rules will determine which exchanges can keep operating there.
