Brazil's largest stock exchange B3 plans to launch a securities tokenization platform in the first half of 2027, where tokenized securities will have interchangeability with traditional stocks and share prices and liquidity. Humberto Costa, Director of Product and Counter Strategy at B3, stated that tokenized securities are issued based on existing assets, and transaction settlements follow the current two-day settlement mechanism. B3 is evaluating the inclusion of Brazilian depositary receipts and exchange traded funds in the infrastructure, while planning to launch its own stablecoin and apply for authorization from the Central Bank of Brazil for digital asset operation and custody services.
