Brazil passed comprehensive crypto legislation (Law 14,478) in December 2022, which took effect in June 2023. The Banco Central do Brasil was designated as the primary regulator for crypto assets used as payment, while the CVM oversees crypto securities. Capital gains on crypto are taxed at 15-22.5%.

Kazakhstan has a dual approach to crypto regulation. The Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) operates as a regulated sandbox where licensed crypto exchanges can operate under AFSA supervision. Outside the AIFC, crypto regulation is more restrictive. Kazakhstan became a major mining hub after China's ban but has since tightened mining regulations.
