Investors will have more time to trade, making life easier for those who cannot trade during business hours.
With this change, B3’s trading hours are now similar to those of other international exchanges.
Extended trading hours with the safety and reliability of a regulated market.
New trading hours expand opportunities and allow more investors to enter the Cryptocurrency Futures market.
This change is part of a gradual process of expanding the trading hours for B3 products. Previously, Cryptocurrency Futures contracts could be traded within a more restricted time bracket, between 9:00 AM and 6:30 PM. With the new configuration, these contracts will be available for trading from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, offering greater convenience and flexibility for investors.
The Bitcoin Futures Contract allows trading expectations and exposure to the future price of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, without the need to buy it on the spot market.
Ethereum (ETR) and Solana (SOL) futures contracts began trading on B3 on June 16, 2025. They are priced in U.S. Dollars and benchmarked to the Nasdaq Ether Reference Price and Nasdaq Solana Reference Price indices, respectively.
B3 is implementing changes to the trading hours for Cryptocurrency Futures. Effective immediately, trading hours for these assets will take place from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with the trade date set for T+0.
The allocation window for all financial derivatives will close at 8:30 PM, allowing trading in any account type, with the possibility of transfer and allocation by this time. To ensure a more efficient experience, orders may be cancelled by 8:10 PM.
Furthermore, we are streamlining the morning checklist process, reducing the scope of testing to focus on the most critical points. To complement the trading information, a 4th version of the Business Bulletin file (bvbg.086) will be published at the end of the session.
