According to the exchange, users will be able to gain access to the payment solution without fees. For businesses situated in Brazil, the option exists to receive payments either in Brazilian real or directly in cryptocurrency to their designated wallets. 
“We expect this launch to be especially relevant for businesses in Brazil, as the country registers one of the highest crypto adoption increase rates. By accepting crypto as a payment method, they’ll increase the row of potential new consumers,” Guilherme Nazar, the general manager for Binance in Brazil, noted.

Amid regulatory uncertainty in the United States, Brazil has made several strides in crypto development. 
Recently, Brazilian lawmakers <a href="https://crypto.news/brazil-to-tax-crypto-held-abroad-by-citizens/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">approved</a> amendments to a crypto tax bill.&nbsp;The proposed adjustment to establish a uniform taxation approach for crypto assets held both within the country and beyond its borders. In contrast to the earlier taxation framework, wherein cryptocurrencies stored overseas incurred lighter tax liabilities compared to those stored within Brazilian exchanges, this amendment would seek parity in the taxation of such assets.&nbsp; 
At the same time,&nbsp;the country <a href="https://crypto.news/brazil-names-its-controversial-cbdc-drex/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">has intensified</a> its endeavors to forge ahead with the creation of its very own central bank digital currency (CBDC).&nbsp; 
In Binance’s announcement, the company also cited that a blockchain data firm Chainalysis published the Global Crypto Adoption Index report, placing Brazil in 7th place in crypto adoption worldwide.
