November 2 (Sunday)

New foreign exchange rules introduced by the Central Bank of Brazil may affect cryptocurrency exchanges, public consultation period continues until November 2

According to Cryptonews, the Central Bank of Brazil has proposed new regulations for the foreign exchange industry, which may further restrict cryptocurrency exchanges.

It has released a public consultation document to gather feedback. Although the proposal does not directly mention cryptocurrency trading and exchanges, in its current form, the rules will affect trading platforms that allow customers to make international transfers or sell cryptocurrencies for fiat currencies other than the Brazilian real. The new regulations aim to bring the largely unregulated foreign exchange industry under regulation, requiring foreign exchange providers to apply for licenses and submit customer transaction data, using designated entry/exit points for deposits and withdrawals, with a limit of $10,000 per transaction.

The Central Bank of Brazil aims to increase transparency in foreign exchange platforms, and local media warn that cryptocurrency exchanges facilitating transfers may be affected, and exchanges operating abroad may also face restrictions. The consultation period continues until November 2.

Nasdaq applies to the SEC to add XRP, SOL, ADA, and XLM to its cryptocurrency index, with a final decision expected by November 2

According to Cryptotimes, Nasdaq submitted a rule change application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 7, planning to include XRP, Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Stellar Lumens (XLM) in its cryptocurrency index benchmark. This adjustment involves the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index ETF (NCIQ), which aims to expand its tracking target from the original Nasdaq Crypto US Settlement Price Index (NCIUS) to cover nine tokens in the Nasdaq Crypto Index (NCI).

Currently, the NCI index includes nine cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), but due to the SEC's current regulations, the ETF can only hold BTC and ETH, leading to tracking error risks. If approved, the ETF will be able to invest in all index component assets, with a final decision expected by November 2, 2025. This move could represent a significant step towards diversification for U.S. crypto ETFs.
