Brazil’s main stock exchange, B3, is making a bold move deeper into digital assets with the upcoming launch of Ethereum and Solana futures contracts.
The new instruments, set to go live on June 16, aim to meet growing investor appetite for regulated exposure to crypto markets.
Cleared by Brazil’s Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), these derivatives are part of B3’s strategy to bridge traditional finance with blockchain-based products.
Each contract will be priced in U.S. dollars, with units of 0.25 ETH and 5 SOL, designed to reflect global norms while catering to both institutional and retail traders.
The exchange’s product director, Marcos Skistymas, said the initiative is meant to diversify its offerings and appeal to investors already navigating the digital asset space.
In addition to launching ETH and SOL futures, B3 is also adjusting its Bitcoin futures product—reducing the notional size from 0.1 BTC to 0.01 BTC—to lower entry barriers and enhance liquidity.
With crypto adoption rising across Brazil, B3’s latest rollout reflects an effort to make derivatives trading more inclusive while maintaining regulatory safeguards.
