Central Bank of Brazil Instruction Normative No. 736 of May 19, 2026

The Central Bank of Brazil issued Instruction Normative No. 736 to amend Instruction Normative No. 693, harmonizing its terminology with Resolution No. 521 regarding virtual asset services in the foreign exchange market. The amendment updates Article 1 and Article 4 to explicitly define reporting requirements for international payments, transfers, and electronic card loading or unloading involving virtual assets. This regulatory adjustment is exempt from a regulatory impact analysis as it merely aligns existing rules with higher-level norms without introducing new regulatory alternatives.
