Crypto is gaining popularity in Brazil, as confirmed by the latest IRS reports.
After Brazilian laws ordered every crypto trading provider to disclose all details regarding revenues as well as turnovers, it shows how much interest the country has in cryptocurrencies.
The data were compiled by the Federal Revenue of Brazil (RFB), according to which a total of 33 billion Brazilian Rea was to be traded from January to September 2020, representing approximately $ 6.3 billion in cryptocurrencies.

Brazilians use the most over-the-counter (OTC) trading and the largest providers include Transfero, Foxbit, Novadax, Escher, Nox, Red River, BitBlue, BitPreço, and OWS.
