TechFlow reported, according to Reuters, that Brazilian exchange operator B3 (B3SA3.SA) announced it has received approval from the country's securities regulator to launch bitcoin futures trading on April 17, though the official launch date may still change. The newly launched bitcoin futures will be linked to the Nasdaq Bitcoin Reference Price, with each futures contract valued at 10% of the price of bitcoin denominated in Brazilian reais.
The futures contracts will be financially settled and will not involve the buying or selling of actual bitcoin.
