‼️B3 adopts technology from $BTC and prepares for ‘tokenization of everything’ starting in 2026🚨🚀
B3, Brazil's stock exchange, is advancing in a modernization process of the infrastructure responsible for the registration of securities and stocks and for the buying, selling, and settlement of assets, with the adoption of Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies' distributed ledger technology.
The project aims to prepare the Brazilian exchange to meet the new market demands, including uninterrupted trading, larger transaction volumes, and tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), stated Rodrigo Nardoni, vice president of technology at B3, to UOL.
The technological update process includes migration to the cloud, simplification of the trading infrastructure, implementation of a new settlement architecture in microservices, and especially, the migration of the variable income central depository to DLT.
In partnership with Oracle, Microsoft, and the Swedish company Vermiculus, B3 is redesigning its systems in search of greater efficiency and security. The developed solution will operate similarly to a blockchain, promoting integration between the traditional financial system and the digital asset ecosystem.
The implementation timeline has been divided into three phases to ensure system stability. The first phase, which involved replicating the functions of the current platform within the DLT environment, was completed in January of this year.
The critical phase will be implemented in 2026, when the new technology will begin to operate autonomously, keeping the old system only as a backup until it is completely deactivated in the final stage.
According to Nardoni, the modernization of the Brazilian exchange's infrastructure is a response to changes in investor behavior and the needs for scalability.
