Brazil To Regulate Stablecoins and Tokenized Assets By 2025, Says Central Bank Chief

Date:

Brazil’s central bank president, Roberto Campos Neto, announced on Tuesday that the regulation of stablecoins and asset tokenization will be prioritized in the country by 2025.

His comments were delivered in a video for market intelligence firm Uqbar. Stablecoins, which are pegged to tangible assets like the U.S. dollar, experience far less volatility compared to other cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin.

The central bank chief highlighted the need for regulation, noting that stablecoins and tokenized assets have become increasingly popular in Brazil.

Campos Neto has previously stated that the increasing demand for stablecoins in Brazil is primarily driven by concerns over tax evasion and illicit activities.

The drive to regulate asset tokenization—transforming real-world assets such as stocks, bonds, or real estate into digital tokens—is emerging as a top priority.

Campos Neto emphasized that the central bank views tokenization as a significant advancement for financial markets, enabling more efficient and secure trading of assets on digital platforms.

The forthcoming regulations aim to establish a clear legal framework for these emerging technologies, promoting their growth while protecting against potential risks.

Brazil’s initiative to regulate the digital asset sector aligns with a global trend, as governments worldwide seek ways to integrate cryptocurrencies into existing financial systems. The central bank governor’s remarks highlight the country’s commitment to balancing innovation with adherence to financial regulations.
