Brazil's central bank has proposed rules that would let it order virtual asset service providers to hold certain crypto transfers for up to 24 hours before execution. The measure targets transfers to foreign platforms, aiming to curb fraud and money laundering, according to gadgets360.com. The proposal is part of a broader regulatory push in Latin America's largest economy. It would apply only to specific high-risk transactions, not routine transfers. A public consultation is expected before the central bank finalises the rules.
