Brazil’s Central Bank to Launch Real-Time Crypto Monitoring System
Brazil's central bank is set to implement a real-time cryptocurrency monitoring system in response to significant cyberattacks that have cost the country an estimated $180 million in stolen crypto assets during 2025. The new system, developed with blockchain security firm Hypernative, will connect banks and domestic stock exchanges for continuous surveillance of transactions involving both major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and smaller memecoins. The monitoring tool is expected to be operational within two weeks and will require a mandatory 24-hour hold on crypto transfers exceeding $10,000 starting in January 2027. The initiative aims to help financial institutions detect suspicious activity, respond swiftly to threats, and track stolen funds moving between traditional banking systems and the cryptocurrency market.
