How to buy Zcash in Brazil

What works in Brazil: exchanges that sell ZEC there, local ways to pay, any rules to know about, and the routes that work anywhere.

Rules to know

  • Since 2 February 2026, Central Bank Resolution 520 requires licensed exchanges to bar assets designed to hide ownership. It doesn't name ZEC, but it may lead Brazilian exchanges to restrict it. bcb.gov.br

  • Kraken

    Transparent withdrawals

    Brazil isn't on Kraken's restricted list, and it restricts ZEC only in Australia.

Exchanges know who you are. Withdraw to a wallet you control, and shield ZEC that arrives at a transparent address. Read the basics.
