Abstract:Binance agrees to pay $1.75 million fine to Brazil's CVM for offering unauthorized derivatives. The settlement highlights Binance's ongoing regulatory compliance efforts.
Binance has agreed to pay a $1.75 million fine to Brazil's Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), resolving a long-running dispute over the exchange's unlawful derivative product offerings in the nation. The accord was struck after years of discussions after CVM's 2020 decision to prohibit Binance from offering derivatives in Brazil. These financial products were considered securities under Brazilian law, and Binance lacked the legal permission to act as a securities intermediary.
The settlement strengthens Binance's efforts to comply with local legislation. As part of the deal, Binance will pay 9.6 million reals, or $1.75 million in US currency. A Binance spokesman stated that the business no longer provides futures in Brazil, emphasizing that the exchange has made significant measures to comply with regulatory standards. “Since the regulator's first communication to Binance in 2020, the exchange has taken all necessary actions to respond to the authority and comply with local requirements,” a representative told me.
CVM's acceptance of the settlement, also known as a Term of Commitment, demonstrates the agency's recognition of Binance's continuous efforts to comply with Brazilian rules. The spokesman said this decision demonstrates the sufficiency of Binance's changes and enhancements over time to fulfill the country's regulatory requirements.
Despite the restriction on derivatives, Binance's Brazilian payment provider, Latam Gateway, continues to function lawfully inside the country's banking system. In 2023, Latam Gateway received a license from Brazil's central bank, enabling it to operate as a payment institution and electronic money issuer. This clearance enables the company to provide payment services and electronic money issuance inside Brazil's regulated financial environment.
Previously, Binance had to stop deposits and withdrawals in Brazilian reals using the government's payment system Pix due to new “know your customer” regulations enforced by the central bank. In response to regulatory constraints, Binance has considered expanding into Brazil by purchasing local banks and payment processors. The business has signed a memorandum of understanding to purchase Sim; Paul Investimentos, a Brazilian securities brokerage firm. However, this deal must still be approved by Brazil's Securities and Exchange Commission and the central bank.
Brazil is a vital worldwide market for Binance, and Latam Gateway plays an essential role in easing operations. Latam Gateway also services other businesses in Brazil, including gaming companies such as Codashop, Moedaz, and Game Hollywood. However, Binance is presently the sole cryptocurrency client in the nation.
