Odaily News: Brazil's cryptocurrency market recorded a trading volume of 505.5 billion reais in 2025, approximately $98.7 billion, representing a more than fivefold increase from 94.9 billion reais in 2020. Corporate-related transactions totaled 497 billion reais, accounting for 98.3% of the total tracked by Brazil's Federal Revenue Service, with individual investors accounting for the remainder.Itaú, Brazil's largest bank by assets under management, now offers 15 crypto assets through its investment app, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the USD-pegged stablecoin USDC. Fintech company Nubank lists 28 crypto assets, while Banco do Brasil has seen trading volume exceed 11 million reais since opening direct trading in Bitcoin and Ethereum in January.Filings with the Central Bank of Brazil through March 2026 show that Brazilian banks hold no proprietary virtual asset positions, but may custody and process crypto assets on behalf of clients. Since 2025, Itaú, Bradesco, Santander, Banco do Brasil, and Nubank have all expanded their crypto asset service offerings.Brazil passed the Virtual Asset Legal Framework in 2022 and issued three regulatory resolutions in November 2025, requiring institutions providing crypto asset trading, custody, or transfer services to obtain licenses, meet minimum capital requirements, and maintain segregated client accounts, with a compliance deadline of October 30, 2026.

Bitcoin remains stuck in the $80,000 consolidation range, with rising rate hike expectations capping upside potential

Odaily News - According to the Bitfinex Alpha analysis report, August employment data has reinforced expectations of a Fed rate hike in September. The market now estimates the probability of a 25-basis-point hike on September 16 at approximately 60%. However, Bitcoin remains near $80,000, with US spot Bitcoin ETFs recording net inflows of approximately $986.7 million last week.Data shows that US non-farm payrolls increased by 162,000 in August, while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%. The manufacturing PMI rose to 54.6, indicating that the economy has not shown signs of a sharp slowdown. Nevertheless, input costs remain elevated, and inflationary pressures have shifted market policy discussions back toward rate hikes.Meanwhile, US Treasury yields continue to weigh on risk assets, with the 2-year yield climbing to 4.37% and the 30-year yield holding at a high of 5.24%. Bitfinex notes that Bitcoin has encountered resistance near $82,000 recently and remains range-bound between approximately $77,200 and $82,100.Bitfinex believes that sustained ETF inflows and growth in stablecoin supply are providing support for Bitcoin, but Fed policy expectations and elevated Treasury yields are limiting upside potential. If this week's inflation data comes in below expectations, the market may once again price in a pause in rate hikes for September; conversely, persistent inflationary pressures could further strengthen rate hike expectations. Until a breakout from the current consolidation range occurs, Bitcoin is more likely to maintain a relatively strong sideways trend rather than confirming the start of a new upward rally.

SEC to Determine Confidentiality and Review Speed of Crypto ETF Filings, Grayscale, A16z and Others Split with Jane Street, Charles Schwab

Odaily News The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has published responses to its request for comments on "Novel ETFs," funds that may hold crypto assets or employ unconventional strategies. The divergence in opinions centers on whether filing documents should remain public before the fund begins trading, and how fast the review process should be.Crypto asset manager Grayscale and the crypto policy organization Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI) support an optional confidential filing period to reduce the likelihood of competitors submitting imitation filings. Charles Schwab opposes full confidentiality and suggests disclosing filings at least 75 days before a fund launches.Grayscale requests the SEC to respond within 45 days, while CCI argues that the confidential process should not extend the automatic effectiveness or review deadlines. Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (A16z) supports shortening the review timeline but emphasizes that the rigor of the review should not be reduced. Trading firm Jane Street, however, contends that accelerating the process could lead to lower product quality, competitiveness, and liquidity.The U.S. currently has 174 ETFs related to crypto assets. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) manages approximately $61 billion in assets, accounting for roughly 38% of the total assets of related ETFs.
