The Brazilian legislation is analyzed, especially in cases involving foreign companies and cryptocurrency theft. Solutions such as the purchase of crypto assets by Brazilian financial institutions and the choice of national exchanges are suggested. The participation of Brazil in international frameworks for exchanging information about cryptocurrencies is emphasized. The conclusion highlights the importance of prior knowledge and the evolution of Brazilian law to address the challenges of this constantly changing market.
