NOTE

1. Instruction Normative BCB No. 693 of December 19, 2025, established the procedures for submitting information to the Central Bank of Brazil regarding the provision of virtual asset services in the foreign exchange market, starting from the reference date of May 2026, in line with Resolution BCB No. 277 of December 31, 2022.

2. However, Resolution BCB No. 574 of June 18, 2026, amended the wording of Resolution BCB No. 277 of 2022 to establish that information regarding the provision of virtual asset services in the foreign exchange market shall only be sent to the Central Bank of Brazil for operations carried out from November 3, 2026.

3. Decree No. 10,411 of June 30, 2020, regulates the conduct of regulatory impact analysis – AIR as a prerequisite for the issuance of normative acts. However, in its Art. 4º, the Decree establishes the hypotheses for dispensing with the AIR. This BCB Instruction Normative falls under the hypothesis provided for in item II – normative act intended to regulate rights or obligations defined in a hierarchically superior norm that does not technically or legally allow for different regulatory alternatives.

4. In this sense, this Instruction Normative adjusts the initial deadline for sending information to the Central Bank of Brazil regarding the provision of virtual asset services in the foreign exchange market of the aforementioned Instruction Normative BCB No. 693 of 2025, to remain in harmony with the deadline defined by the current wording of Resolution BCB No. 277 of 2022, justifying its inclusion in item II of Art. 4º of Decree No. 10,411 of 2020.

5. Thus, based on the provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4, we understand that the issuance of this Instruction Normative is exempt from conducting an AIR.
