Brazil's Securities Regulator Establishes Task Force With 60-Day Deadline to Draft Tokenized Securities Framework

Jul 19, 2026

Brazil's securities regulator, the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM), has established a 14-department task force to draft an experimental regulatory framework for tokenized securities. Led by coordinators José Alexandre Vasco and Bruno Gomes, the group has a strict 60-day deadline to submit its initial proposal and 120 days to complete its broader review. This regulatory push comes as Brazil's real-world tokenized asset market reaches $2.34 billion, and runs parallel to new enforcement measures under Law No. 15.358/2026 targeting illicit digital assets.
