A recent study conducted by the Brazilian Tax Authority (RFB) revealed that over 12,000 Brazilian companies have crypto assets as part of their treasury.

The news came a few weeks after the Brazilian CVM demanded amendments to the pending crypto bill.

According to the RFB’s August report, the number of firms that have adopted crypto grew by 6.1% since July. In fact, many companies have entered the crypto scene since August. For example, investment firm XP Inc. recently launched a crypto trading platform in collaboration with BitGo and Nasdaq.

On the other hand, the number of individuals who have taken up crypto has slowed down. Interestingly, the number still remains above the 1.3M mark. This indicates that cryptocurrencies are being widely adopted in Brazil. Similarly, Crypto Pulse’s September report claimed that over 77% of Brazilians trust crypto.
