The new law, introduced on June 10 by Federal Deputy Paulo Martins, wants to include Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies as a form of payment.
The comprehensive legislative proposal is an addendum to the country's current statute - Civil Procedure Code Article 835.

The measure has been delivered to the South American country's parliamentarians, who will now have debates before the amendments are approved by the Senate and signed into law by the president.

The emphasis will also be on securing users' private keys, as well as offering additional powers and constraints to Brazilian courts if cryptocurrency is recognized as a financial asset. This includes things like freezing exchange accounts.
Brazil is one of the most active crypto marketplaces in Latin America, and the government has been working hard to approve a crypto bill before the end of the year.
