FxWirePro- Major Crypto levels and bias summary 
B3, the primary stock exchange of Brazil, will launch USD-settled Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) futures contracts on June 16, 2025, pending approval by the securities regulator CVM. This is a major milestone in regulated digital asset derivatives in Latin America's largest economy. The USD-financially settled contracts will use official Nasdaq indices as references, offering contract sizes of 0.25 ETH and 5 SOL.
In addition to the new products, B3 will reduce the minimum contract size for its Bitcoin futures from 0.1 BTC to 0.01 BTC in an effort to expand access for retail traders and enhance overall market liquidity. These initiatives are designed to be appealing to both institutional desks and sophisticated retail traders seeking regulated, dollar-denominated crypto exposure in South America's premier market.
The roll-out of ETH and SOL futures, as well as other longer-term crypto product offerings such as spot ETFs in products such as XRP, positions B3 as a go-to destination for regulated crypto derivatives in Latin America. The move provides regional and international investors with new, regulated products to gain exposure to major digital assets, following global trends in digital asset market development and meeting rising institutional demand for the same.
