Availability for residents of Brazil
As of 26 June 2026, Phemex is available to residents of Brazil. Brazil does not appear on the list of restricted territories in the Phemex Terms of Use, and Phemex offers its services to residents of many countries. Identity verification, known as know your customer, is required before trading, and the products available can vary by country.
Brazil regulates virtual asset service providers through the Banco Central do Brasil, which was given authority under Law No. 14,478 of 2022 and Decree No. 11,563 of 2023. The Banco Central do Brasil published Resolutions 519, 520 and 521 that take effect on 2 February 2026, with a transition period for existing providers running to 30 October 2026. The Comissao de Valores Mobiliarios oversees tokens that are securities. Confirm whether Phemex holds the required authorization directly with the platform and the regulator.

Access, identity checks, and products
Phemex is a custodial platform that offers crypto spot trading and derivatives, which means it holds the assets in your account on your behalf rather than giving you the private keys. The exact products offered to a country depend on local rules, so check the platform itself for the current list.
Derivatives products carry a high level of risk and are not offered everywhere. Trying to bypass a location restriction, for example by using a virtual private network or a foreign address, can breach the Phemex Terms of Use and put funds and account access at risk. The safer route is to use a platform that openly serves Brazil and to verify its status before signing up.
How crypto is taxed in Brazil
Crypto can be taxable in Brazil. As of 26 June 2026, the Receita Federal do Brasil oversees the taxation of crypto for residents, and gains on the disposal of crypto can be subject to income tax, with reporting duties that can apply to holdings and transactions.
Tax rules change and depend on your situation, so confirm the current treatment with the Receita Federal do Brasil or a qualified tax professional. This is general information, not tax advice (as of 26 June 2026).
