CPI recommendations and new bills
The CPI’s final report included a series of recommendations for administrative-level bodies such as the Central Bank, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Consumer Secretariat, among others. The initiative aims to improve understanding and regulation of operations involving cryptoassets and other related activities.
One of the most important proposals is the recommendation to the Federal Tax Authorities to update the concept of crypto assets. The review aims to adapt the official understanding of such assets to the rapid evolution of the cryptocurrency market.
Still in this vein, the report suggests that foreign brokers with local representation have an extensive obligation to report their activities.
Another highlight is the request for a special tax audit targeting 28 companies. The motivation for such action stems from irregularities identified during the CPI’s work that could constitute crimes against the tax system.
The Central Bank was also mentioned, which received the recommendation to investigate the behavior of Virtual Asset Service Providers (PSAVs). The concern lies in the deposit and withdrawal transactions in reais that are carried out through bank accounts that do not belong to the providers.
The document also proposes four new bills aimed at:
- Strengthen criminal law against obtaining illegal profits through fraudulent processes.
- Improve the rules that apply to virtual asset service providers.
Regulate the advertising of cryptoactive substances by digital influencers and ensure more transparent and secure communication to the public. - Improve legislation on frequent flyer programs for companies in the aviation sector, thereby better protecting consumers.
- New rules for frequent flyer programs linked to airlines.
These proposals, if approved, could provide a more secure and transparent environment for investors, companies and consumers operating in the cryptoactive and related fields.
It is now expected that the report’s recommendations will be analyzed and possibly implemented.
“We have more than 3 million injured Brazilians, more than R$100 billion extracted from the Brazilian population in the twenty largest established pyramids. We urgently need to vote on these bills”declared the chairman of the CPI, Aureo Ribeiro (Solidariedade-RJ).
Reactions from those involved
Livecoins has sent an email to the defense of all the individuals mentioned, and the responses will be included in this article.
The lawyers of Ronaldinho Gaucho stated that there is no evidence against Ronaldinho and that the CPI did not even do that “took the time to listen to the owners of the 18K company”further stated “It is an attempt to attract attention through the names of personalities.”
Matheus Müller explains how he feels “Twice a victim, of Atlas Quantum and now of the CPI.” “I am a victim of a pyramid, they approached me to cooperate with explanations about the cryptocurrency system and information I received from former directors and employees of Atlas, but it seems that the information I took was not liked from some parliamentarians.” he said.
