CRYPTOCURRENCIES AND THE 2026 ELECTION: WHAT FLÁVIO BOLSONARO’S PLAN PROPOSES?
In the debate about the future of cryptoassets in Brazil, one of the points of attention is the economic and regulatory environment each administration intends to build.
Flávio Bolsonaro’s government plan proposes reducing bureaucracy, revising regulations, lowering the tax burden, administrative reform, resuming privatizations, and increasing the participation of private investment in the economy. It also includes proposals to digitize public services, encourage artificial intelligence, startups, and technology companies.
For the cryptoasset market, these guidelines could primarily influence five areas:
1. Regulatory environment
A de-bureaucratization policy could change the cost and ease for financial technology companies, exchanges, and startups to operate in the country.
2. Taxation
The proposal to review the tax structure could affect the cost of financial operations and investments, although the plan does not set out a specific policy for Bitcoin or other cryptoassets.
3. Technology and innovation
The program calls for a national artificial intelligence strategy, support for startups, and expansion of digital infrastructure. This environment could be relevant for blockchain, tokenization, fintechs, and other segments of the digital economy.
4. Fiscal policy
The plan proposes changes to fiscal rules, aims for primary surpluses, and reduces the debt/GDP ratio. If implemented, these measures could change expectations regarding interest rates, inflation, exchange rates, and the risk of Brazilian assets.
5. Private investment
The proposal to expand privatizations and private participation in infrastructure could also create new markets for financial technology and digital assets.
In summary: the possible impact of a Flávio Bolsonaro administration on crypto would be more directly tied to the fiscal, tax, regulatory, and innovation environment than to a specific policy aimed at increasing the value of cryptocurrencies.
