Brazil’s stock exchange B3 has announced plans to launch a BRL-pegged stablecoin and a dedicated tokenisation platform as part of its broader blockchain strategy. The stablecoin will serve as a settlement instrument within B3’s emerging digital infrastructure, helping tokenize assets and speeding up clearing and settlement. The tokenisation platform, scheduled for 2026, will initially focus on listed shares. With clearer crypto regulations in Brazil and growing global adoption of real-world asset tokenisation, B3 sees this model as a way to modernise market infrastructure, share liquidity between traditional and digital markets, and strengthen its role in the long-term digital transformation of Brazil’s capital markets.

In El Salvador, Bitso and Tether have joined together to encourage startups and stablecoin-based solutions. El Salvador’s collaboration with Bitso and Tether marks a significant step in the country’s mission to become a financial innovation hub in Latin America. As part of the agreement, Bitso will introduce a dedicated ‘El Salvador track’ to The Push—Latin America’s first stablecoin-focused accelerator—during its second edition in the first half of 2026. Sponsored by Tether, the program will prioritise entrepreneurs based in El Salvador or those addressing local challenges, leveraging the country’s crypto-friendly regulatory environment to drive real-world stablecoin adoption.

Bitso’s B2B arm, officially named Bitso Business, has announced record results for 2025 and is on track to process $82 billion in annualized total payment volume (TPV). Felipe Vallejo, Bitso Mexico’s Corporate Affairs and General Manager, stated that breaking $80 billion is more than a scale milestone; it represents a structural shift in the global financial system toward stablecoin-based solutions. Bitso Business processes a volume similar to the GDP of over 100 nations, including Costa Rica, Luxembourg, Croatia, and Uruguay, exhibiting the scale of a national economy flowing through the platform. The company underscored the expanding use of stablecoin payment systems by global enterprises looking for speedier, more transparent, and cost-effective financial infrastructure throughout Latin America.
