Latin America (regulatory precedent)
Institutional tension between executive (Central Bank) and judiciary (Supreme Court) over fintech regulation. CB seeks preemptive consensus to avoid fragmented court rulings that could undermine monetary authority. Reflects broader struggle between financial stability mandates and innovation-friendly policies.
Similar to 2008 financial crisis regulatory responses where central banks sought unified legal frameworks to prevent regulatory arbitrage and systemic instability through coordinated court interventions.

Consumers may face service disruptions as ~100 payment institutions are forced to exit the market or restructure. Reduced competition in fintech could lead to higher fees and fewer payment options. Increased regulatory scrutiny may slow innovation in digital financial services.
BC seeks unified Supreme Court ruling to prevent fragmented litigation across federal courts. Requires approval of financial autonomy PEC and new Banking Resolution Law to provide resources for institutional interventions. Signals shift from permissive 2020 Pix-access policy toward stricter capital and governance standards, reflecting post-hacker-attack security concerns.
