In addition, the stock exchange is looking at futures contracts for Ethereum and Solana for this year, according to CEO Gilson Finkelsztain, as reported by local news outlet Valor Investe on Feb. 7.
The expansion follows B3’s successful launch of Bitcoin futures in April 2023, which now generate monthly trading volumes of R$5 billion (US$860 million).
This volume nearly matches the R$6.66 billion (US$1.13 billion) traded on all Brazilian cryptocurrency exchanges in January 2024.
B3 currently serves as Brazil’s primary securities exchange, offering various cryptocurrency-linked products alongside traditional financial instruments like stocks and bonds.
This expansion signals growing mainstream adoption of crypto derivatives in Latin America’s largest economy, providing regulated access to a broader range of digital asset investment products.
