How to Buy Cryptocurrency in Brazil

Buying cryptocurrency in Brazil

Buying cryptocurrency in Brazil Bitcoin is quite popular in Brazil and is considered South America's largest market for cryptocurrency. Brazil even set a record for most Bitcoin traded in one day in Latin America, where over 100,000 BTC were exchanged. There are no restrictions on individual buying, sales or use of cryptocurrencies for non-criminal intentions. The Central Bank of Brazil has twice stated its opinion on Bitcoin and digital asset regulations - neither does it regulate nor supervise transactions that include virtual currencies. However, the Bank has expressed its concerns regarding the actual nature of trading with cryptocurrencies. As far as ATMs go, a Brazilian company named Coinwise offers three, while Arbitz provides a list of ATMs and businesses accepting BTC and other cryptocurrencies as a method of payment. Unfortunately, several scams and hacks involving Bitcoin in Brazil made its users wary, but they did highlight the importance of taking reasonable steps to protect investments
