Brazil’s B3 Stock Exchange is planning to roll out Bitcoin options and futures for Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) in late 2025. This move reflects a growing demand for cryptocurrency trading.
Bitcoin futures have shown substantial activity, with R$5 billion ($860 million) in monthly trading volume since their launch in April 2023. In January, overall trading volume across Brazilian exchanges reached R$6.66 billion ($1.13 billion).
The rising popularity of crypto derivatives is indicative of increasing institutional interest in Brazil’s regulated digital asset markets, as stablecoins dominate the local crypto landscape amidst economic challenges.
