What's the cheapest way to sell Stellar in Brazil?

Regulatory framing — Brazil

Brazil regulates crypto via Banco Central do Brasil (BCB) under Marco Legal das Criptomoedas (Law 14.478/2022). Receita Federal handles taxation: 15% IR on monthly gains >R$35,000 (regulated venues), 17.5-22.5% progressive IR on offshore/DeFi (Law 14.754/2023). IN 1888 (>R$30k/yr aggregate) + IN 2161 (>R$5k/mo) reporting. CVM oversees tokenized securities. PIX = instant payment rail.

Step-by-step

Check monthly disposal volume. Brazilian crypto IR rule: gains TAX-EXEMPT if total monthly disposals (across ALL crypto, ALL venues) <R$35,000. If >R$35,000 in any single month, 15% IR on monthly gain (regulated venues per Law 14.478/2022). Offshore disposals: 17.5-22.5% progressive (Law 14.754/2023).
Use FIFO or specific-ID for cost basis. Brazil allows specific-ID method for cost basis (unlike Germany's mandatory FIFO). Document acquisition lots to optimize taxable gain. Tax-software (Toro Tributos Cripto, Koinly Brazil, BlockTax) automates.
