The Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) has approved the first Solana-based exchange-traded fund (ETF) in Brazil.

This ETF, still in its pre-operational phase and pending approval from the Brazilian stock exchange (B3), will track the CME CF Solana Dollar Reference Rate.

QR Asset, a Brazilian asset manager, will offer the ETF, with Vortx managing it.

This move positions Brazil as a leader in regulated crypto asset investments.

Previously, Brazil’s B3 has listed Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.

The ETF’s approval highlights the country’s growing acceptance of crypto investments.

Additionally, in July, Cboe requested the SEC to allow VanEck and 21Shares to launch a Solana-based ETF in the U.S., still awaiting approval.
