Brazilian Stock Exchange B3 is accelerating the development of digital asset infrastructure, planning to tokenize real-world assets (RWA), issue Brazilian Real stablecoins, and launch derivatives related to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, thereby officially integrating crypto assets into the country’s mature stock market system. These initiatives are seen as significant milestones in the deep integration of Brazil’s traditional financial system with blockchain technology.
According to information released by B3, the exchange plans to launch a complete tokenization platform by 2026. This platform will support the issuance and trading of real-world assets on-chain, initially focusing on tokenized stocks, while maintaining connectivity with existing B3 market infrastructure. This means that tokenized assets will not operate independently but will be interconnected with traditional clearing, settlement, and liquidity systems.
B3 stated that one of the core objectives of the new platform is to reduce the disconnect between on-chain and off-chain markets, enabling liquidity sharing and more efficient settlement mechanisms. At the same time, this architecture is viewed as an important infrastructure to support longer trading hours and even near 24/7 trading in the future.
In terms of payments and settlement, B3 plans to issue a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the Brazilian Real, for use within its tokenization platform for clearing and settlement. The exchange pointed out that the stablecoin will significantly simplify trading processes, reduce reliance on traditional cash settlement mechanisms, and improve overall efficiency. The proposal comes after the Brazilian Central Bank scaled back the scope of the Digital Real (Drex) project, providing space for private sector-led tokenized financial solutions.
In addition to spot and tokenized assets, B3 is actively expanding its crypto derivatives portfolio. The exchange is developing weekly options contracts linked to Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL), with these products currently under regulatory review by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM). Once approved, these tools will further diversify investment options for crypto assets within a regulated environment.
Overall, B3 does not see blockchain as an independent “crypto exchange solution” separate from traditional markets but as a natural extension of the existing financial system. Through a combination of RWA tokenization, stablecoin settlement, and crypto derivatives, B3 is creating institutional channels for the entry of digital assets like Bitcoin into mainstream finance, setting a new benchmark for digital financial development in Latin America.
