USDC to Nubank: cash out to Brazilian reais
How to send USDC from your wallet to your Nubank account in Brazilian reais via PIX: where to find your PIX key, steps, limits and FAQs.
PIX, run by Brazil's Central Bank, is the default way money moves in Brazil: instant, 24/7 and addressed with a simple key instead of branch and account numbers. To turn USDC into reais you only need a PIX key registered to an account in your name. The payout partner converts USDC to BRL and sends a PIX that typically lands within seconds.

Where to find your PIX key — Nubank
In the Nubank app, the Pix area usually has an option to manage or register your keys. You can register your CPF, email, phone or a random key and then paste that key into Sacamos.
What to know about Nubank
- A Pix key only works once it is registered to your Nubank account; a phone number or email that is not registered as a key will fail.
- Your CPF can only be a Pix key at one institution at a time; if it's already registered at another bank, you can request a portability of the key into Nubank or use a different key type.
- Nubank has no branches: key registration, limits and support all happen in the app, so keep it updated and your login secured.

Limits and things to know
- Central Bank security rules give individuals lower default PIX limits at night (20:00–06:00). Banks let you adjust them in the app, but increases only take effect after a waiting period (at least 24 hours).
- Some banks also have their own limits for incoming transfers on new accounts.
- New Sacamos users start with a lower limit while verification is new.
How it compares
Every option below works. They differ in who holds your funds, how many steps it takes and how pricing is shown. This is a qualitative comparison — fees and speeds change, so check each provider's current terms.
| Option | Custody | Steps | Speed | Pricing | Good for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sacamos (non-custodial off-ramp) | You keep USDC in your wallet until you send it to a one-time partner deposit address | Verify once, add bank, get quote, send from wallet | Depends on the local rail; instant rails usually minutes | Rate and fees shown upfront in the quote | Getting paid in USDC and cashing out straight from your own wallet | Supports USDC on Solana and Base only; identity verification required |
| Centralized exchange (deposit, sell, withdraw) | The exchange holds your funds while you trade and withdraw | Deposit, place a sell order, then request a fiat withdrawal | Varies by exchange and withdrawal method | Trading spread/fees plus withdrawal fees; can be cost-effective for large amounts | Active traders who already keep a balance on an exchange | Extra steps, custody risk, and sending to the exchange on a network it supports |
| P2P marketplace (e.g. Binance P2P) | Platform escrow holds the crypto during the trade | Deposit to the platform, pick a buyer, wait for their bank transfer, release | Depends on the counterparty | Set by each buyer; can be competitive | Flexible payment methods and markets with few other options | Counterparty and scam risk (fake receipts, reversed or third-party payments) |
| Sell widgets (MoonPay, Transak) | You send crypto to the provider when you sell | Often built into wallets; verify, sell, receive to bank or card | Varies by country and payout method | Provider fees and spread, shown before confirming | Convenience inside a wallet you already use | Supported countries, tokens and payout rails vary |
Taxes (general information)
General information, not tax advice: Brazil's Receita Federal treats crypto assets as reportable assets, and gains on disposals can be taxable. Reporting and taxation rules for crypto have changed several times recently, so check current Receita Federal guidance or ask a contador.
