This figure was attained amid the global dip in the crypto market and high inflation rates. In July, the number of companies with cryptocurrency holding declarations was only about 11,360 which shows that the figure recorded in August is a 6.1% increase from the previous month.
Although the CPF number which is the number of Brazilians and resident aliens who, directly or indirectly, pay taxes in Brazil, did not increase from that of July, instead it was slightly lower. It fell from over $1.3 billion in July down to $1.3 billion in August. The total declaration value in August also decreased slightly from its figure in July.
In July, the value of the total declaration was $3.4 billion while in August it fell short to 11 billion Brazilian Reais approximately $2.1 billion probably due to the ongoing crypto winter.
