The resolution establishes that cryptocurrency brokers must be accredited through a public notice and that there should be a rotation in the use of services.
The Public Prosecutor's Office of the State of São Paulo (MPSP) published a rule on Tuesday (3) that defines the basic rules for hiring cryptocurrency brokers for the management of assets seized in the entity's operations.
Resolution 2,078/2025 defines that the accreditation of brokers will be done through a public notice and that it will be the responsibility of the Deputy Attorney General for Justice of Strategy and Innovation to conduct this process.
The text also establishes that there will be a random rotation of accredited companies when using the service and that this accreditation must be renewed every two years.
With the publication of the resolution, the MPSP regulated Article 5 of Resolution No. 288, of March 19, 2024, of the National Council of the Public Prosecutor's Office, which 'regulates the actions of members of the Public Prosecutor's Office in cases involving the seizure, custody, and liquidation of virtual assets.'
In the justification for establishing the rule, the MPSP emphasized that there is a 'growing use of virtual assets in the legal relationships established in society' and that it has become increasingly common for prosecutors and attorneys to have to deal with the issue.
'Members of the Public Prosecutor's Office have encountered, in the exercise of their duties, procedures and processes that require the practice of acts involving the management of these assets, whether in cases related to criminal prosecution or in civil matters,' states the MPSP.
