B3 expands cryptocurrency offerings with Ethereum and Solana futures starting in June
B3, Brazil's Stock Exchange and Over-the-Counter Market, announced the listing of two new cryptocurrency futures contracts, expanding options for investors in the regulated market. Starting from June 16, 2025, contracts for Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) will be available, following the approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).
The decision reflects the growing demand for exposure to digital assets in the institutional environment. In 2024, B3 had already launched Bitcoin (BTC) futures, which gained quick adoption among funds and professional investors. Now, with ETH and SOL — two of the leading cryptocurrencies by market value — the Brazilian exchange consolidates its position as a hub for digital derivatives in Latin America.
With this new offering, B3 aligns itself with global exchanges, such as CME, which already offer cryptocurrency derivatives. For investors, this presents an alternative to diversify their portfolio without the direct custody of coins.
Trading begins on 06/16, and B3 is expected to announce details about hours and fees in the coming weeks.
