In seeking to make life easier for users of B3’s trading platform, we now make a daily file available directly on B3 portal with relevant data on tradable instruments. The file consists of an exact copy of the Market Data SecurityList and contains data on the minimum size, in terms of quantity, for instruments tradeable in block trade solutions (Midpoint, BBT and RFQ). This data is updated daily per asset considering the minimum size in financial value defined by the regulator and the asset’s closing price, which until then was only disclosed on Market Data. Now queries can be made via file directly on the B3 portal, simplifying the trade for users of block trade solutions. Check the file now: https://www.b3.com.br/en_us/market-data-and-indices/data-services/market-data/historical-data/newsletters/search-by-trading-session/search-by-trading-session/

Following the implementation of the Post-Trade Solution for Fixed Income Private Securities (Flow II), in some cases, the number of allocations exceeded the limit of the current message (bvmf.234), making it impossible to send the status of the trade. In this respect, we will implement an improvement to the flow, creating a new message (b3.296), which will be paginated and will allow the institution to receive the status of all allocations made.

B3 will implement an optional field in securities lending to provide custodians with visibility of the give-up participant ID for executed trades. The information will provide greater transparency and speed up the validation of orders entered by managers. It will be available both via message and on the electronic trading platform, streamlining and improving the validation of offers. For technical details, see the catalog on the project page.

Today Custodians are unable to correctly validate the manager's orders, since they do not have sufficient information to identify the Give-up Participant in securities lending trades. An optional field will be created whereby the Custodian receives data on the Give-up Participant’s ID for trades executed in the securities lending market, thus facilitating their daily trade validation routine. Such data will be available via messaging and via electronic trading platform.

Starting in July, B3's LINE Trading will adopt a new calculation for the TMOC and TMOV metrics, which define the maximum bid and ask sizes for options orders. The change will take effect in two stages: July 21, 2025, for Equity Options, and August 25, 2025, for Derivatives Options. Details of the update can be found in the LINE 5.0 | B3 version.

Following the implementation the Private Securities Post-Trade Solution (Flow II), B3 identified the need to increase the number of decimal places in the “price” and “quantity” fields from 6 to 8, in the case of Closed-End Fund Shares (CFF) trades. We will therefore adjust the allocation process carried out in Real Time Clearing (RTC) to the flow of the previously existing product. Therefore, these trades can also be allocated through the new solution, which will now have full adherence to the products already integrated with it, namely, Debentures, Real Estate Receivables Certificates (CRI), Agribusiness Receivables Certificates (CRA) and Closed-End Fund Shares (CFF).

In the Securities Lending Subscription process, the "End Date", which refers to the last day for returning subscription rights from borrower to lender, will be removed from the RTC - Subscription Management Module screen. There will be no change to the Subscription Surplus event.  The BVBG.098 file will undergo changes where the respective field becomes optional.
