Brazil’s B3 stock exchange is expanding its use of blockchain. It plans to launch a real-pegged stablecoin and a tokenisation platform by 2026 to improve settlement speed and connect traditional assets with digital ones.

In El Salvador, Bitso and Tether have partnered to support startups and stablecoin-based projects. The collaboration includes a new accelerator track focused on local development, expected to start in early 2026.

Meanwhile, Bitso’s business arm reported strong growth, with annualised payment volumes expected to reach around $82 billion. The company says this reflects rising use of stablecoins for cross-border payments across Latin America. #crypto
