Brazil’s B3 to launch options on bitcoin, ether and solana futures in July 2026

Brazil’s stock exchange B3 is set to roll out options on bitcoin (BTC), ethereum (ETH) and solana (SOL) futures in July 2026. The contracts will be built on B3’s existing cryptocurrency futures, which have traded since 2024, adding an options layer for the first time. B3, the largest exchange in Latin America and regulated by Brazil’s securities regulator CVM, said the products will be BRL-denominated and open to licensed financial institutions and qualified investors. The launch does not involve spot listings, ETF approvals or policy changes, and no figures were disclosed for flows, open interest or trading volumes.
