[Brazil's Largest Exchange B3 Plans to Launch Tokenized Securities Trading Platform in the First Half of 2027] Odaily Planet Daily News: Brazil's largest securities exchange, B3, is expected to launch a tokenized securities platform in the first half of 2027. The tokenized securities will be interchangeable with traditional stocks and share the same pricing and liquidity. The platform was originally planned for launch in the second half of 2026 but has now been rescheduled to the first half of 2027. Humberto Costa, B3's Director of Products and OTC Strategy, stated that the tokenized securities will be issued based on existing assets and will not primarily be issued on the blockchain. Trade settlements will still follow the current two-business-day settlement mechanism. Whether Brazilian Depositary Receipts and exchange-traded funds will be included in this infrastructure is still under evaluation. B3 also plans to launch its own stablecoin and will apply to the Central Bank of Brazil for authorization to conduct digital asset operations and custody services. Round-the-clock trading and instant settlement will still require approval from Brazilian regulators or the establishment of a new regulatory framework. (Bitcoin.com News)
