Techub News reports that, according to CryptoBriefing, the Brazilian Federal Police seized approximately $14 million worth of criminal-related cryptocurrency assets in 2025, a sixfold increase from 2024.


According to Chainalysis, this amount accounts for only about 0.014% of Brazil's total annual cryptocurrency transaction volume, which is approximately $100 billion.
Major cases include hacking attacks on bank systems utilizing the Pix payment platform (involving about $180 million) and money laundering investigations of the "Bitcoin Pharaoh" project operators.
Criminal organizations such as PCC reportedly use cryptocurrencies for cross-border fund transfers.
Brazil's Central Bank Resolution No. 520 has strengthened anti-money laundering requirements.
