Brazil’s B3 to Launch Bitcoin-Linked Event Contracts for Professional Investors

B3, Brazil’s main stock exchange, has expanded its digital-asset and derivatives offerings in recent years. Its Bitcoin-linked event contracts will be offered in the regulated market exclusively to professional investors with more than 10 million reais in assets, reflecting growing demand among large institutions for tools that provide crypto exposure.

B3 plans to launch the event contracts on April 27, allowing eligible investors to trade on movements in Bitcoin’s price. The product is part of the exchange’s derivatives modernization program. B3 also plans to launch its own tokenization platform and a stablecoin in the same year, further connecting traditional finance with digital-asset markets.
