Binance halted trading in crypto derivatives on its Brazil platform to comply with an order by the South American country's securities authorities, the latest step in its efforts to work better with regulators.
People in Brazil can no longer trade futures, options, leveraged tokens and margin products on the Portuguese-language site, but they are still able to do so on the English site, local media reports said Friday.
The crypto exchange will no longer advertise or carry out other marketing of the products, as demanded by the country's securities regulator. The Comissão de Valores Mobiliários told Binance in July 2020 to suspend futures trading as it didn't have the necessary official authorization, reports said.
Binance said it had prevented the option for trading in future contracts at that time and has since put in place more restrictions.

Global stocks made solid gains Monday, staging a comeback after last week's selloff, as attention shifted to upcoming manufacturing data for signs of whether the surge in Delta variant cases is slowing global economic recovery as feared.
In US stocks, futures linked to the S&P 500 were up 0.33%, Dow Jones futures gained 0.43%, and Nasdaq futures inched 0.27% higher as of 6:30 am E.T. on Monday. Oil futures were also taking back some of last week's losses.

Outbreaks intensified over the weekend in Australia and New Zealand intensified over the weekend, which were widely seen as having contained the virus.
