       SAO PAULO, Feb 7 (Reuters) - The operator of the
Brazilian stock market B3  B3SA3.SA  will soon start offering
derivatives and stocks from Brazil internationally, the
company's chief executive said on Friday. 
    Talks are being held with global digital investment
platforms, and the start of operations is expected within two to
three months, B3 CEO Gilson Finkelsztain told journalists during
an event in Sao Paulo. 
    One of the platforms that may offer Brazilian products is
Interactive Brokers  IBKR.O , Finkelsztain said. 
    The executive also said it is difficult to predict if Brazil
will have initial public offerings (IPOs) in 2025. 
    However, he believes the IPO market in Brazil will be
reopened by mature companies from traditional sectors and
capable of offering liquidity to investors. 
    The Brazilian stock exchange has not seen an IPO in over
three years.
