Brazil’s B3 to Launch Tokenization Platform and Real-Pegged Stablecoin in 2026

What Is B3 Building for 2026?

Brazil’s main stock platform, B3, is preparing a broad push into tokenized finance through a new platform that will allow assets to be issued, traded and settled onchain. Alongside it, the platform plans to launch a stablecoin linked to the Brazilian real to serve as the clearing asset inside this environment. The two systems will run with shared liquidity, creating a unified market between tokenized instruments and traditional securities.

Luiz Masagão, B3’s and clients, said the structure is designed so purchaviewrs will not need to distinguish between tokenized and conventional assets when submitting an order. “The token purchaviewr won’t know they are purchaseing from a traditional stock tradeer,” he said. “This allows for a smooth transition, with both systems using the identical liquidity.”

The platform expects the tokenization platform and the stablecoin to launch next year, marking one of the most direct attempts by a major market operator to merge centralized market infrastructure with onchain rails.

Investor Takeaway

How Will B3’s Stablecoin Work Inside the platform?

B3’s planned stablecoin will function as the settlement and payments layer for tokenized trades. Instead of relying on fiat settlement cycles, the coin will move inside the platform’s closed environment to clear transactions instantly. Masagão said, “We are also going to launch a B3 stablecoin, which will serve as a tool to enable token trading.”

The token is expected to maintain a peg to the Brazilian real. B3 views the stablecoin as critical infrastructure rather than a retail-facing product, letting the platform handle payment, transfer and clearing without depending on legacy cash rails. A unified settlement token also allows tokenized assets and traditional assets to coexist in the identical liquidity pool, reducing fragmentation.

The plan follows a broader push by platforms and market operators globally to bring tokenization into regulated settings. The RWA market reached more than $18 billion this year, according to RWA.xyz, led by tokenized commodities and U.S. Treasuries.

Where Do Crypto Derivatives Fit Into B3’s Strategy?

B3 is also preparing new crypto-linked derivatives. The platform is developing weekly options tied to BTC, ether and solana, along with event-based contracts that track crypto prices. These instruments are currently under review by Brazil’s securities regulator, the CVM.

Derivatives expansion builds on years of crypto exposure through listed products. B3 listed its first crypto ETF in April 2021, ahead of the U.S., and now offers products tied to BTC, ETH, SOL and multi-asset indices. These ETPs are held by roughly 600,000 investors and represent about $2.4 . Asset manager Valour also listed four new ETPs earlier this month.

Taken together, the new derivatives, the tokenization platform and the stablecoin form B3’s broadest digital-asset roadmap to date. Rather than treating tokenization as a separate venue, B3 intends to make it an extension of its existing market structure.

Investor Takeaway

Could B3 Become a Regional Hub for Tokenized Markets?

Brazil has one of the most active in Latin America, and B3’s shift into tokenization signals a deeper integration of crypto infrastructure into mainstream finance. The shared-liquidity model also sets B3 apart from most pilot programs, which often silo tokenized assets on separate systems.

If B3’s model works in practice, tokenized products could reach the identical investor base that already trades ETFs, equities and derivatives on the platform. That reduces the entry barrier for issuers exploring tokenized debt or equity, while giving investors access to new formats without changing their workflows.

The move also comes as regulators worldwide . The CVM’s ongoing review of crypto derivatives suggests Brazil wants crypto-linked instruments inside the supervised market rather than on offshore venues. For B3, that opens the door to deeper if regulatory approval keeps pace.

B3’s 2026 roadmap shows the platform is preparing for a market where traditional and tokenized assets coexist with minimal distinction. Whether investor demand expands from listed crypto products to fully tokenized assets will be one of the key tests when the system goes live next year.
