ETF Block Trade Expansion

Informative

More alternatives for ETF block trades

Soon, investors who trade Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) will be able to trade them using our block trade solutions, such as Midpoint Order Book (Midpoint) and the Book of Block Trade (BBT). The new feature improves the execution experience, reduces risks and costs, while expanding B3's solutions for the Brazilian capital markets.

These solutions enable more efficient block trades, reducing order exposure to the market and contributing to better execution quality.

In recent years, B3 has gradually expanded the use of block trade solutions in stocks, equity and real estate fund securities. Now, ETFs are also eligible for trading using both solutions, thus expanding the alternatives available to institutions that trade large lot sizes.
