Regulatory Developments in Financial Services     ZOOM WEBINAR Tuesday, December 14th 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. (Eastern Time - U.S. and Canada) The volume of Brazilian cryptocurrency trading has exploded with Brazilians acquiring consistently USD350mn in bitcoin each month and over USD4bn year-to-date in 2021. With the adoption of bitcoin as the official currency of El Salvador, Brazilian authorities are looking at cryptos with increasing scrutiny. The Chamber brings together a panel of experts to explore the growth and role of cryptocurrencies in Brazil, including their use in the payment system, decentralized finance and exchanges, and cryptocurrencies as a unique asset class. We will discuss the regulatory treatment of cryptos, including tax, securities, and banking – and examine how Brazilian regulation fits in and compares to international regulation, including that in the United States. Join us via Zoom, for this informative and practical discussion.   Moderator: Evan Koster, Partner, Hogan Lovells LLP   Speakers: Fabio Araujo, Economist, Central Bank of Brazil Pedro Erole, Partner, Mattos Filho, Veiga Filho, Marrey Jr. e Quiroga Advogados LLP Barbara Espir, Head of Legal, Bitso Fabricio Tota, Director, Mercado Bitcoin     Registration Information WEBINAR Members: Free Non-Members: $15 Webinar information will be provided to registrants once registration has been completed.   This event has been organized by the Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Hogan Lovells LLP and Mattos Filho, Veiga Filho, Marrey Jr. e Quiroga Advogados LLP Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce, Inc. | 485 Madison Avenue, Suite 401, New York, NY 10022 | (212) 751-4691
