Brazil’s main stock exchange plans to roll out tokenization platform and stablecoin in 2026
Key Takeaways
On B3’s planned stablecoin, the exchange expects it to meet market demand for a secure, independent asset to support liquidity, collateral, and potentially around-the-clock trading within the tokenized infrastructure.
“The B3 stablecoin fills a gap in the digitalized economy market, with the end of the Drex by the central bank,” Masagão noted.
Drex is Brazil’s central bank digital currency (CBDC). The central bank began testing the currency on the Drex platform in late 2023 but decided to retire the blockchain-based platform this year and shift its focus to a new infrastructure.
“We don’t force the entire ecosystem of brokers to adapt to 24/7 liquidation, but whoever wants to do it will be able to do it through a fully tokenized infrastructure and be able to enjoy the liquidity of the traditional market,” Masagão highlighted.
