Itaú Unibanco, Brazil's largest private bank, has officially registered its crypto trading and custody operations with the Central Bank of Brazil, becoming the first financial institution to comply with the country's new digital asset regulations. This move formalizes a service Itaú launched in 2023, covering 15 digital assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC, with a low entry point of R$10 for customers. By meeting the October 30, 2026 deadline early, Itaú used a simplified authorization process reserved for established financial institutions, enhancing legal clarity and client security. This development signals growing mainstream acceptance of crypto in Brazil, a major market with over R$505 billion in digital asset transactions in 2025, as competitors like Nubank also expand their crypto offerings.
Itaú's formalization of crypto trading offers context for the broader cryptocurrency market.
