Brazilian stock exchange B3 has announced its plans to launch Bitcoin (BTC) futures this year. Chief Financial Officer André Milanez made the announcement during a conference call on Monday, May 16.
Though Milanez didn't go into great detail about how the product will work, and it's unclear whether B3 will enter into a partnership or offer Bitcoin futures directly, Milanez did indicate that the timing for the product's launch was rather short. "We plan to launch bitcoin futures in the next three to six months," he said.
