B3 to Launch Ethereum and Solana Futures in June

Brazil’s B3 Stock Exchange will introduce Ethereum and Solana futures contracts on June 16th, expanding its offerings for cryptocurrency financial products. The move has been approved by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) and aims to better equip institutional investors with tools to manage asset custody complexities while fostering easier access to the crypto market. Unlike existing Bitcoin futures, ETH and SOL contracts will be priced in U.S. dollars, each contract representing 0.25 ETH or 5 SOL respectively. Further, B3 has reduced the nominal value of Bitcoin futures contracts from 0.1 BTC to 0.01 BTC to boost liquidity and attract a broader range of investors.
