Overview
- The platform will allow tokenized assets to trade against traditional listings using the same liquidity pool, according to B3 executives.
- A B3 stablecoin pegged to the Brazilian real is planned to serve as the settlement and clearing instrument for the tokenized environment.
- Weekly options tied to Bitcoin, Ether and Solana are in development and are currently under review by Brazil’s securities regulator, the CVM.
- B3 positions the stablecoin as filling a gap created by the central bank’s Drex wind-down and as a step toward extended or continuous trading hours.
- The initiative builds on roughly $2.4 billion in crypto-linked assets held by about 600,000 investors and will open protocols and SDKs for third-party development.
