Brazil's CVM accelerates tokenization and AI integration for market supervision

The Securities and Exchange Commission of Brazil (CVM) plans to accelerate the development of a capital market infrastructure based on tokenization and distributed ledger technology (DLT) throughout 2026. CVM President Otto Lobo stated that the agency is adopting a fast-track regulatory approach, with working groups already testing technical and legal frameworks for DLT-based asset issuance and trading. The CVM aims to allow traditional and tokenized systems to coexist while implementing artificial intelligence to enhance market supervision.
