ME News message, December 18 (UTC+8) according to CoinDesk, Brazil's main stock exchange B3 plans to further expand its crypto business in 2026 by launching a tokenization platform and stablecoin. The platform will allow for asset tokenization and trading on the exchange, with both systems sharing the same liquidity pool.
