Brazil is poised to become the first country to launch a spot Solana Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) following approval from the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM). The ETF, to be issued by QR Asset Management and managed by Vortx, is awaiting final approval from B3, one of Brazil’s largest stock exchanges.
QR Asset Management, with over R$876 million in assets and a client base exceeding 100,000, is well-prepared for the Solana ETF’s debut. The fund will use the CME CF Solana Dollar Reference Rate index, which aggregates data from major crypto exchanges to determine Solana’s (SOL) price. This ETF will offer Brazilian investors a diversified way to invest in SOL.
Brazil’s approval of the Solana ETF underscores its leading role in the global crypto ETF market. The country has been active in the crypto space since 2021, with investments in Bitcoin and Ethereum funds, as well as multi-asset crypto funds.
While the U.S. has launched spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, it has yet to approve a Solana ETF. Asset managers like VanEck and 21Shares have submitted applications to the U.S. SEC, and in Canada, 3iQ Corp is pursuing a Solana ETF through an Initial Public Offering (IPO). Brazil’s move places it ahead in the race for the first spot Solana ETF.
