The largest stock exchange in Brazil, B3, announced that it will launch traditional asset tokenization services and issue its own stablecoin starting in 2026. This move aims to formally advance the integration with cryptocurrencies and expand into the digital asset market.
On the 17th (Tuesday), B3 released an official announcement regarding the launch of the 'tokenization platform.' The initial services will focus on traditional financial products such as listed stocks, with plans to gradually expand the scope of application. Luiz Massagaio, Vice President of B3 Products and Clients, stated: 'To support token-based trading, we plan to issue our own stablecoin as a tool.'
B3 is Brazil's representative centralized financial infrastructure, responsible for the core transactions of stocks, bonds, listed index funds (ETFs), and more. The trend of such institutions, which are centered on traditional finance, accelerating their transformation towards digital assets also indicates that global market demand for tokenization is growing.
The tokenization of traditional assets refers to the process of utilizing blockchain technology to convert physical assets into digital tokens, which has advantages such as enhancing liquidity, increasing transaction efficiency, and reducing transaction costs. Recently, global investment banks and even regulatory agencies have begun related experiments in preparation for comprehensive commercialization.
This announcement is interpreted as a signal that B3 is officially expanding its role in the digital asset market. In particular, the strategy of issuing its own stablecoin to smoothly connect cryptocurrency and traditional asset transactions is expected to attract significant market attention.
