Brazil’s main stock exchange, B3, announced plans to introduce a new asset management system by combining a tokenization platform with its own stablecoin.
The initiative is set to begin in 2026 and aims to allow traditional and tokenized assets to operate side by side within a single trading system.
B3’s vice president of products and clients, Luiz Masagão, explained that the system is designed so that no one buying tokens could tell whether those tokens came from a traditional stock seller.
