Statute overview

About this statute

As operations in the virtual assets market are subject, as applicable, to the Consumer Defense Code. Virtual asset service providers must follow governance, transparency, risk-based, information security, data protection, consumer protection, operational soundness, and anti-money laundering/counter-terrorism directions. O Poder Executivo atribuirá a órgãos ou entidades federais a disciplina do funcionamento e a supervisão da prestadora de serviços de ativos virtuais. This article amends the Penal Code by adding a new Article 171-A about fraud involving virtual assets, securities, or financial assets. This provision defines “virtual asset” and excludes several categories from that definition. It also gives a federal public administration body, designated by the Executive Branch, the power to set which financial assets are regulated under the law.
