Brazil’s main stock exchange B3 has announced plans to launch a tokenisation platform alongside its own stablecoin, with both initiatives scheduled to go live in 2026.
The move signals a deeper push by B3 into digital assets as it seeks to integrate blockchain-based products with traditional financial markets.
B3 vice president of products and clients Luiz Masagão said the platform would initially focus on tokenising traditional assets, beginning with stock market offerings.
The exchange also plans to issue a proprietary stablecoin designed specifically to support settlements and token-based trading activities.
A tool to enable trading in tokens, Luiz Masagão said, referring to the role the stablecoin is expected to play within the new ecosystem.
Masagão highlighted that linking tokenised assets with the existing market infrastructure would allow assets to remain fully interchangeable across systems.
The great value of having this tokenisation platform connected to the traditional ecosystem is that assets are fungible, Luiz Masagão said.
The token buyer won’t know they’re buying from a traditional stock seller. This allows for a smooth transition, with both benefiting from the same liquidity, he added.
