Central Bank Instruction No. 712 of February 27, 2026
The Central Bank of Brazil issued Instruction No. 712 to amend Instruction No. 330/2022, establishing mandatory registration procedures in the Unicad system for entities communicating their intent to provide virtual asset services or offer staking operations. This regulation implements requirements from Resolution No. 520/2025 by detailing the specific data points institutions must submit, including formal interest dates, service modalities, and independent technical certification details. Additionally, the instruction revokes a redundant clause from the original regulation to streamline compliance without altering substantive regulatory merit.
