Brazil · PLD/FT and sanctions
Eagle Eye Report gives sanctions, AML, enhanced-due-diligence, and source-of-funds teams evidence to review before funds move. It separates government sanctions sources from recorded stablecoin blacklist, freeze, and seizure actions and presents bridge or mixer interactions as neutral review indicators.
The Banco Central do Brasil published Resolutions 519, 520, and 521 on 10 November 2025. The BCB describes them as separate rules for authorization, service-provider operation, and foreign-exchange or international-capital treatment. Resolutions 519 and 520, and most provisions of Resolution 521, took effect on 2 February 2026; specified reporting and international-capital provisions of Resolution 521 took effect on 4 May 2026. Read the BCB announcement.
The rule covers authorization processes for SPSAVs and certain other regulated institutions. It addresses requirements such as financial capacity, lawful capital origin, technology infrastructure, governance, and management suitability. Read Resolution 519.
The rule governs the constitution and operation of SPSAVs and the provision of virtual-asset services by other BCB-authorized institutions. The BCB says the framework extends rules on PLD/FT, governance, security, internal controls, client transparency, and information duties. Read Resolution 520.
The rule brings specified virtual-asset activities into Brazil’s foreign-exchange and international-capital framework. It is not the authorization timetable for SPSAVs. Read Resolution 521.
BCB Instruction 704 sets 30 October 2026 as the ordinary phase-one filing date for an SPSAV already operating when Resolutions 519 and 520 took effect; the BCB may extend that date by up to 60 days on a justified request. Other requirements have their own effective dates and scope. Firms should confirm which provisions apply to their structure and activity with Brazilian counsel and the BCB. Read BCB Instruction 704.
COAF is Brazil’s financial-intelligence unit. Its role includes receiving, analyzing, and sharing information about suspicious operations. Eagle Eye Report does not decide that an operation is suspicious, file a communication, or infer intent from one transaction. Read COAF’s description of financial-intelligence reporting.
Check whether the address appears in a covered government sanctions source, with the authority identified for review.
A recorded blacklist, freeze, or seizure action is a public on-chain fact from the company or organization behind a token. It is not a government designation.
A recorded interaction can inform enhanced due diligence and source-of-funds questions. It does not establish purpose, intent, layering, or wrongdoing.
Screen → Review → Route → Monitor. Screen at the point your procedure calls for a decision. Review each evidence class with customer purpose, expected activity, source of funds, direction, timing, and amount. Route the result through your internal escalation process, and monitor selected addresses for later covered updates.
Resolution 519 governs authorization processes that include SPSAVs. Resolution 520 governs the constitution and operation of SPSAVs and the provision of virtual-asset services by other BCB-authorized institutions. Resolution 521 addresses specified virtual-asset activities within the foreign-exchange and international-capital framework.
BCB Instruction 704 sets 30 October 2026 as the ordinary phase-one filing date for an SPSAV already operating when Resolutions 519 and 520 took effect. The BCB may extend that date by up to 60 days on a justified request. It is not one universal deadline for every obligation or every business.
No. The report presents source-cited screening evidence. The regulated firm applies its own PLD/FT procedures, reviews the wider customer and transaction context, decides whether a communication is required, and submits any communication through its authorized process.
A team can review covered government sanctions sources, public stablecoin blacklist, freeze, and seizure actions, and recorded bridge or mixer interactions before funds move. Those facts can be considered with customer purpose, expected activity, source of funds, direction, timing, and amount.
