Binance to Require Details on Brazilian International Crypto Transfers
Binance will require Brazilian users to declare the purpose and counterparty of international crypto transfers from Nov. 1, or face blocked or frozen withdrawals.
Why it matters
The questionnaire turns Brazilian exchange transfers into a reported data channel to the central bank, extending exchange compliance duties from domestic on/off-ramp reporting to cross-border flows. Since the requirement starts Nov. 1, Brazilian users sending or receiving crypto from abroad may see withdrawals held or returned without the requested disclosure, and the only account of the scope comes from one outlet reporting Binance's own description.

What happened
U.Today reported that Binance will require Brazilian users to fill in a questionnaire stating the intent of an international crypto transfer and the identity of the transaction partner, and that the exchange will not process withdrawals until the form is completed. Under the same policy, incoming international transfers to Brazilian users may be frozen or returned, according to the outlet. The exchange said it will send the collected data to the Central Bank of Brazil on a monthly basis. The change follows Resolution BCB No. 521/2025, which placed certain virtual asset transactions under Brazilian foreign exchange controls, and takes effect Nov. 1. U.Today said the rules cover only transfers between Brazilian residents and non-residents and do not affect crypto transactions between Brazilian residents; no other outlet reported the story, so Binance's account of the scope and the mechanics is unconfirmed by a second source.
