The Brazilian central bank, Banco Central do Brasil, has issued Crypto.com a Payment Institution License (EMI). 

According to a statement on the company’s website, it may now “continue offering regulated fiat wallet services for customers in Brazil” owing to the licence. 

Since last year, Brazilian customers of Crypto.com have had access to a Visa card that can be used for both bitcoin and traditional money transactions.

According to a survey by Chainalysis that came out in October, the primary use case for cryptocurrency in Brazil is as an investment option. 

After a law was passed in November legitimising its usage as a payment system, its popularity as a means of exchange is growing. At that time, Chainalysis ranked Brazil seventh in the world.

Around 5% of Brazilians, or 10 million people, engage in cryptocurrency trading, most frequently on the Mercado Bitcoin exchange.
