Brazilian exchange operator B3 plans to launch tokenized equities in the first half of 2027. Humberto Costa, director of OTC products and digital assets at B3, announced the timeline during an event on October 8, 2026.

The technical infrastructure under development is designed to support 100% of listed equities. Initially, tokenized shares will maintain the same liquidity and trading conditions as the traditional market.

The settlement cycle will start at two business days, matching the standard timeline of traditional equities. Any future transition to immediate settlement or around-the-clock trading will depend on regulatory authorization.
