Brazil's central bank (BCB) reported that July cryptocurrency purchases fell to $572 million, a decline of nearly 80% from June's $2.6 billion and 60% from $1.4 billion in July 2025. The BCB's statistics chief Fernando Rocha attributed the drop to a transitional period as exchanges adapt to new digital asset regulations, with anti-money laundering controls and governance requirements reducing transaction volumes. Despite the monthly slump, cumulative purchases since January 2026 have reached $15.25 billion, more than double the $7.6 billion from the same period last year, with stablecoins dominating the market.
Brazil's central bank (BCB) said cryptocurrency purchases in July 2026 came to $572 million, down nearly 80% from $2.6 billion in June and 60% from $1.4 billion in July 2025. Fernando Rocha, who leads the BCB's statistics department, said the fall reflects a transitional phase as cryptocurrency exchanges adjust to Brazil's new regulatory framework for digital assets. "Anti-money laundering controls and governance requirements are significant factors reducing transaction flows," Rocha said.
But the monthly slide didn't change the bigger picture. Since January 2026, cumulative crypto purchases have hit $15.25 billion, more than twice the $7.6 billion logged in the same stretch of 2025. The BCB said most of those transactions involve stablecoins.
