ABSTRACT Cryptocurrencies are decentralized digital currencies that can have new units generated as a reward for the use of computational capacity, thus representing a rupture with the "traditional" model of currencies by replacing the trust existing in them due to a regulatory entity by an electronic system of based on cryptographic evidence. The expansion in adoption and volume of cryptocurrencies is a trend in the current context. Given such a panorama, and considering the fact that they are decentralized, could the crypto-currencies bring about some instability from the point of view of the relationship between state and economy? Thus, the present work aims to identify to what extent the advent of cryptocurrency and their recent expansion may interfere in economic policies and activities.
