Current Position & Biography
Styvenson Valentim represents Rio Grande do Norte in Brazil’s Federal Senate. The Senate’s current communication register identifies him as serving a term from February 2019 through January 2027. His connection to digital-asset policy includes authorship of one of the bills considered during the Senate’s development of a cryptoasset framework.
Notable Contributions
Valentim authored PL 3.949/2019 on virtual currencies and businesses intermediating related operations. In April 2022, Agência Senado reported that the substitute approved by the Senate incorporated ideas from his proposal alongside other senators’ bills. This is a specific contribution to the legislative process; it does not make him the sole author of the eventual framework or establish that every element of his original proposal was adopted.
Why Katharos.ai Is Following Them
The origin of regulatory proposals can help explain which questions lawmakers prioritized as digital-asset markets developed. Katharos.ai follows this documented legislative contribution while distinguishing original proposals, amendments, chamber votes and subsequent implementation. Sponsorship is not treated as an endorsement of a token or trading platform.
Areas to Follow
Virtual-asset service providers, market oversight and the relationship between legislative design and consumer safeguards. Future reporting will examine concrete proposals and official decisions rather than infer a comprehensive policy position from a single bill or treat historical proceedings as the current law.
