Brazil’s B3 Stock Exchange Bets Big on Crypto—Adds ETH and SOL Futures
Wall Street’s playing catch-up again. While U.S. regulators drag their feet, Brazil’s B3 exchange just greenlit Ethereum and Solana futures contracts—launching Q3 2025.
Why it matters: Institutional money needs regulated on-ramps. B3’s move legitimizes two altcoins beyond Bitcoin—and gives TradFi dinosaurs a way to hedge against their own irrelevance.
The cynical take: Watch banks suddenly ’discover’ crypto now that they can charge 2% management fees on derivative products. Innovation, but make it profitable for middlemen.
