Binance Blog published a new article, announcing Binance's membership in the Brazilian Association of Crypto Economy, ABcripto, and its participation on the association’s board. This move signifies a pivotal moment for Brazil’s digital-asset ecosystem, reflecting the country's growing maturity in the virtual asset market, characterized by enhanced regulatory dialogue, compliance practices, and institutional engagement. Through ABcripto, Binance aims to contribute to industry discussions on responsible innovation, market integrity, consumer protection, governance, and sustainable sector development.
The decision to join ABcripto comes as Brazil emerges as one of the most dynamic crypto markets globally, with increasing retail and institutional adoption and more mature conversations around regulation and consumer protection. As the sector evolves, collaboration between companies, industry bodies, regulators, and public authorities is crucial to ensuring transparent and sustainable innovation. ABcripto plays a significant role in this evolution by providing a forum for dialogue on the future of the industry in Brazil. Binance’s entry into the association and its board is expected to broaden discussions, particularly on responsible innovation, market integrity, legal certainty, and international competitiveness.
Diego Perez, vice president of ABcripto, emphasized that Binance’s entry marks a new institutional stage for the sector. He noted that the Brazilian virtual-asset market has matured significantly in recent years in terms of governance, compliance, and regulatory dialogue. Binance's involvement in ABcripto reflects this new institutional moment and the joint effort to create a safer, more competitive, and sustainable environment for the crypto economy in Brazil.
Brazil’s digital-asset market is developing within a broader global context, with jurisdictions worldwide working to define clear rules for crypto, strengthen consumer protection, and build frameworks that allow responsible companies to grow while maintaining strong standards of market integrity. For Binance, participating in ABcripto is an opportunity to contribute international experience to Brazil’s local industry dialogue. As the world’s leading digital-asset platform, Binance operates across various markets and regulatory environments, providing a broad view of how different jurisdictions approach licensing, compliance, consumer education, operational security, and cooperation with authorities.
Thiago Sarandy, general manager of Binance in Brazil, stated that the move aligns with Binance’s commitment to supporting a more mature and innovative industry. He highlighted that participating in ABcripto is part of Binance's commitment to building a more mature, secure, and innovative virtual-asset industry. Membership and participation on the Board allow Binance to contribute directly and proactively to the formulation of standards and dialogue with regulators and policymakers. Sarandy expressed the desire to use this position to elevate the level of debate and help consolidate Brazil as a global reference in virtual assets.
Industry associations like ABcripto help transform fragmented conversations into structured dialogue, bringing different perspectives together and creating space for technical and policy discussions. For a market as large and important as Brazil, this kind of collaboration is essential. Binance intends to contribute to ABcripto’s work across several priority areas, including compliance, consumer protection, governance, responsible innovation, and the sustainable development of the sector. The company also plans to share international experiences and best practices to support the continued evolution of Brazil’s digital-asset ecosystem.
