BloFin is our top pick for Brazil, and it suits futures traders who want to deposit reais by Pix and keep ID checks optional. Buying and trading crypto is legal in Brazil, and the Banco Central do Brasil authorises and supervises the companies that offer it, so check a platform’s status with the central bank before you pay in.
After that, the biggest question is how your reais get in and out. Pix is the quickest way to fund an account, but not every exchange here takes it. Even fewer let you withdraw reais by Pix, and that decides how easily you can cash out. Trading fees, the coins and products on offer, and each platform’s security record matter too.
BloFin is built for futures traders, and it lets you pay in reais by Pix, the fastest way to fund an account in Brazil. You get up to 150x leverage across futures on 438 coins, so most coins you follow have a contract.
Spot trading covers 243 coins, and you also get copy trading, trading bots and a demo account for practising before you risk real money. Cashing out is the weak spot: there is no Pix withdrawal, so to get reais back you have to move your crypto to another platform and sell it there.
Spot trades cost 0.1% for makers and takers, futures cost 0.02% for limit orders and 0.05% for market orders, and ID checks are optional, with a daily withdrawal limit of $20,000 if you skip them. BloFin was co-founded in 2019 by Matt Hu, who is also its CEO, and is based in the Cayman Islands. It is a young exchange with moderate liquidity, so large orders on smaller coins can fill at a worse price than you expect.
Key points
Pix works both ways on Bybit: you can deposit reais and withdraw them back to your bank, which makes moving money in and out simple. It also takes bank transfers and runs a P2P marketplace, so you have another route if one method is slow.
The product range is wide, with 380 spot coins, futures on 577 coins with up to 100x leverage, and options on [assets_options exchange="bybit"] coins. Copy trading, bots, staking and 548 tokenized stocks give you plenty to use beyond plain crypto trading.
Every spot trade on Bybit costs 0.1%, whether you add liquidity or take it, while futures makers pay 0.02% and takers pay 0.055%; an ID check is mandatory. Ben Zhou co-founded Bybit in 2018 and still leads it as CEO, with headquarters in Dubai. Hackers took over $1.5 billion from Bybit in February 2025, and although it recovered all users' funds within 72 hours, the attack shows even large platforms get breached, so don't keep more there than you trade with.
Key points
For deep markets, Binance is hard to beat: it has the strongest liquidity of any exchange here, so large orders fill close to the price you see. Its routes for reais are bank transfer, card and P2P rather than Pix, and withdrawals go back to your bank by transfer.
Binance lists 507 coins for spot trading, offers futures on 525 coins at leverage as high as 150x, and has options on 8 coins. Copy trading, bots, staking, loans and a demo account sit in the same app, but the interface is dense and takes beginners a while to learn.
A spot trade on Binance costs 0.1% no matter which side you're on, futures run 0.02% when you place a resting order and 0.05% when you fill someone else's, and Binance asks for ID before you can trade. Binance dates from 2017, when Changpeng Zhao co-founded it; today Richard Teng is CEO and the company's base is the Cayman Islands. An October 2022 hack led to outflows of BNB coins worth over $500 million, a reminder that coins on any exchange carry risk, so move long-term savings to your own wallet.
Key points
High leverage is the reason to open a Zoomex account: it offers futures on 711 coins and up to 1000x leverage through Arena Trader Pro on a small group of USDT pairs. At that level a tiny price move can wipe out your position, so it only suits experienced traders.
Funding in reais is limited, since Zoomex takes cards and third-party payment providers but not Pix, and it pays out only in crypto. Spot trading is thin at 66 coins, so it works best as a futures account next to a main exchange.
Zoomex takes 0.1% from both sides of a spot trade, and on futures it charges 0.02% to post an order and 0.06% to fill one; you only need to verify your ID if you buy crypto with money. Zoomex launched in 2021, co-founded by its current CEO, Jay Hsu, and has its home in Singapore. A real drawback is that it doesn't publish proof of reserves, so you can't check that customer deposits are fully backed.
Key points
Of all the exchanges here, only Mercado Bitcoin is headquartered in Brazil, so you deal with a local company rather than an offshore one. It also issues its own token, MBRL.
The platform keeps things simple, with 220 coins to buy and sell. There are no futures, copy trading or trading bots, so it suits buying and holding rather than active trading.
Every account needs ID verification, and it's best to check fees and ways to pay in on its site before you deposit. Gustavo Chamati, Maurício Chamati, Rodrigo Batista founded Mercado Bitcoin in 2013; Reinaldo Rabelo now heads it as CEO from São Paulo, Brazil. It keeps coins in cold storage but doesn't publish proof of reserves, so you can't check that customer deposits are fully backed.
Key points
If you've never bought crypto before, Coinbase is the easiest app here, with a simple buy screen and a separate Advanced view when you want charts and order books. Customers in Brazil must give their tax residency and tax identification number, a requirement in place since January 2026.
Reais funding is the weak point: deposits run by card, PayPal and crypto, withdrawals go out by bank transfer, and there is no Pix. Coinbase lets you buy 402 coins and trade futures on 131, with leverage capped at 10x, but it has no copy trading or bots.
Spot trading is expensive, with makers paying 0.4% and takers 0.6%, while futures carry a flat 0.05% either way; you have to pass an identity check before you trade. Brian Armstrong, a co-founder of Coinbase in 2012, remains its CEO, and the company operates remotely with no main head office. In spring 2021 more than 6,000 customers had their accounts compromised, so turn on two-factor authentication and the withdrawal address whitelist to protect yours.
Key points
Copy traders get the most from Bitget, which runs the largest copy trading service in crypto and lets you mirror experienced traders' positions automatically. It also takes Pix for deposits and withdrawals, so reais can move straight between your bank and your account.
Bitget covers 507 coins on spot and 478 on futures, where leverage reaches 125x, plus bots, staking, loans and a demo account. Its 2,991 tokenized stocks are the widest stock choice here.
Bitget's spot rate is 0.1% for everyone, its futures rate is 0.02% as a maker and 0.06% as a taker, and you'll need to prove your identity. Launched in 2018 with Sandra Lou among its co-founders, Bitget has Gracy Chen as CEO and operates from Singapore. On 25 September 2026 it reported unauthorised transfers of about $351.6 million from some hot and warm wallets, and although Bitget says its User Protection Fund covers the loss, withdrawals are suspended during the investigation, so any money you deposit now could be stuck until they resume.
Key points
No exchange here lists more coins than MEXC, with 1,320 on spot, so new tokens often appear there before anywhere else. Its fees are also the lowest in the ranking: makers pay 0% on spot and 0% on futures, while takers pay 0.05% on spot and 0.02% on futures.
You can withdraw reais by Pix or bank transfer, while deposits go through card, bank transfer and outside payment providers, so the cost of paying in depends on the provider you use. Futures span 614 coins and allow leverage of up to 200x, but many small coins trade thinly, so check the order book before placing a large order.
Every account must pass ID verification before it can deposit, trade or withdraw, and MEXC publishes proof of reserves. MEXC's roots go back to 2018, when John Chen co-founded it; the same person is CEO today, and its headquarters sit in Singapore. The main risk is its reputation, with many reported cases of MEXC withholding customer funds, so keep only what you are actively trading there.

Our editorial team selected, tested and ranked the best crypto exchanges for traders in Brazil. We picked exchanges that accept users in Brazil and ordered them on the whole package, with no scoring formula behind the order. The order is our editors’ judgment of that package, while the CWR Score on each card rates each exchange on its own, so some exchanges placed lower have a higher score.
Yes. Buying, holding and trading crypto is legal for individuals in Brazil. Under a 2022 law, companies that buy, sell, broker or hold crypto for customers need prior authorisation, and since 2023 the Banco Central do Brasil (BCB) has been the authority that regulates, authorises and supervises them; tokens that count as securities stay with the securities regulator, the CVM. The central bank’s rules for these providers took effect on 2 February 2026.
Providers that were already operating must apply for authorisation by 30 October 2026 and can keep serving customers while the BCB decides, and foreign platforms that want to keep serving people in Brazil must move those customers to an authorised provider. From 6 November 2026, Brazilian banks and payment institutions may not carry out or enable crypto operations with providers the BCB has not authorised, so check a platform’s status with the central bank before you pay in. The BCB also treats some operations, such as buying or selling stablecoins and sending crypto to or from your own wallet, as foreign-exchange transactions that only providers authorised for that market may handle.
In Brazil, a profit from selling or swapping crypto held with a Brazilian provider or in your own wallet is taxed as a capital gain at 15% on gains up to R$5 million, with higher rates of 17.5% to 22.5% only on larger gains. Nothing is due in a month when your total crypto sales, across all coins and platforms in Brazil and abroad, are R$35,000 or less; above that, the gain on every sale that month is taxed. Swapping one coin for another counts as a sale, valued in reais at the market price on the day, and the tax is due by the last business day of the following month.
Since 2024, crypto held or traded through an exchange based abroad has been treated as a foreign financial investment: gains are taxed at 15% in the annual return, with no monthly exemption, and losses can be set against gains on other foreign investments. Each type of crypto that cost R$5,000 or more must be listed at its purchase price in the annual return (Bens e Direitos, group 08). If you use a foreign exchange or no exchange at all, you may also have to report your transactions to the Receita Federal, which since July 2026 collects them through its DeCripto declaration.
This is a general overview, not tax advice. Tax rules change and depend on your situation, so check with the Receita Federal or a tax adviser before you file.

Getting your first Bitcoin or Ethereum in Brazil takes only a few steps once you have chosen where to trade.
BloFin is the pick for futures traders who want Pix deposits and optional ID checks, though you need another route to turn crypto back into reais. Bybit is the stronger all-round choice if you want Pix both ways and a wide product range, Binance has the deepest markets, and Mercado Bitcoin suits simple buying from a company based in Brazil. Coinbase is easy but expensive, Zoomex is for high-leverage futures only, and Bitget and MEXC carry serious withdrawal risks right now. Crypto is legal in Brazil, but check any platform’s status with the Banco Central do Brasil before you send money.
Yes. Individuals can legally buy, hold and trade crypto in Brazil. Companies that buy, sell or hold crypto for customers need authorisation from the Banco Central do Brasil, which regulates and supervises them, while tokens that count as securities fall under the CVM.
BloFin, Bybit and Bitget accept Pix deposits. Binance takes bank transfer, card and P2P, MEXC takes card, bank transfer and outside payment providers, and Coinbase takes card and PayPal.
Bybit and MEXC let you withdraw reais by Pix. Bitget normally does too, but its withdrawals are suspended while it investigates a wallet breach. BloFin and Zoomex don't pay out reais, so you have to move your crypto to another platform to cash out.
On most exchanges here, yes. BloFin and Zoomex make ID checks optional, though BloFin caps daily withdrawals for unverified accounts and Zoomex asks for verification if you buy crypto with money.
Crypto gains can be taxable in Brazil. See "How is crypto taxed in Brazil?" above for the details, and keep a record of every trade you make.
From 6 November 2026, Brazilian banks and payment institutions may not carry out or enable crypto operations with providers the Banco Central do Brasil has not authorised. Platforms already operating can keep serving customers while their applications are reviewed, so check a platform's status with the central bank before you pay in.
In the EU, Bybit serves customers through a separate platform, Bybit EU, which is licensed under MiCA.
