B3 plans tokenised stock trading platform for early 2027
Brazil's largest exchange, B3, expects to launch a tokenised assets platform in the first half of 2027, with tokens fungible with traditional shares, but 24/7 trading and instant settlement need regulatory approval.
Key points
- B3 expects to launch the tokenised assets platform in the first half of 2027, later than the second half of 2026 it targeted in June.
- Tokenised securities will be fungible with traditional stocks, sharing prices and liquidity, and will settle in two business days.
- B3 also plans its own stablecoin and will seek Central Bank of Brazil approval to operate and custody digital assets.
B3, Brazil's largest stock exchange, expects to launch a tokenised stock trading platform in the first half of 2027, Bitcoin.com News reports.
Costa said tokenising a share is already possible under current rules, but new freedoms depend on regulatory authorisation or a new framework.
Costa said he cannot currently settle outside the existing D+2 environment or sell in a different format. B3 announced the project in June, targeting the second half of 2026, and has now pushed the launch to the first half of 2027. It is still deciding whether Brazilian depositary receipts and exchange-traded funds will form part of the new infrastructure.
Costa also repeated that B3 would launch its own stablecoin, without confirming whether the two products would interact at launch.
