Brazil’s Federal Senate will vote for the ‘ Law’ next Tuesday, April 19. Although the law project has been put to vote, it is not certain that it will pass.

In December 2021, the initial proposal was approved in the country’s Chamber of Deputies, which forms part of the legislative power, and was immediately sent to the Senate for review. In February, the Commission on Economic Matters (NYSE: CAE) accepted the proposed.

In case the Senate approves the bill, the proposal will be sent again to the Chamber of Deputies and then for a final sanction, to Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro.

What Could Change With the ‘Bitcoin Law’?

Senator Flavio Arns highlighted the bill’s features:

The “Bitcoin Law” has three main objectives. The first is to “give security to the virtual assets market,” the second, is “to protect the economic-financial order,” and the third is “to protect the Brazilian investor.”

According to the senator, the bill isn’t an impediment, but instead, it “seeks to bring greater confidence to investors and, consequently, bring greater stability to companies operating in this segment.”

The most important part of the proposed proposal, he says, is the creation of a body or entity in the state that can regulate the market and oversee its supervision. He believes that this entity would be the Central Bank of Brazil.
