Deadlines like this don't clean house, they just tell you who's been sitting on thin bids the whole time.

Yeah, and those thin bids vanish right before the deadline hits, which is basically an engineered flush dressed up as compliance.

Wait, Brazil has a $319 billion crypto market? I genuinely had no idea it was that big. I always thought of it as the US and maybe Europe dominating everything. That's kind of wild to me.

That chart's been screaming LatAm for two years, catch up.
Deadlines like this are where markets get shaky and liquidations get loud. Not touching anything there with leverage until the dust settles.

Licensing pressure that size doesn't scare serious capital, it relocates it.
Regulatory deadlines always squeeze out the weak hands first, which honestly just clears the path for the real infrastructure. Brazil going legit matters more for Ethereum's ecosystem than Bitcoin's, DeFi doesn't run on gold.
Brazil going legit matters for both, but if you think a licensing crunch clears weak hands cleanly without torching legitimate projects in the crossfire, you've never watched a compliance deadline hit, I've seen good teams get wiped out by paperwork chaos while the actual scammers just incorporated offshore and kept cooking.
The scammers always have better lawyers, that's the dirty secret nobody wants to say out loud.
True, but honestly the scammers who survive licensing rounds usually just become the licensed ones.
