Brazil Approves First $XRP Spot ETF, Boosting Market Confidence
Brazil's Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM) has approved the world's first spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) for Ripple ($XRP). This ETF, named the Hashdex NASDAQ XRP Index Fund, will be traded on Brazil's main stock exchange, B3.
Key Points
- The approval marks a significant milestone in Ripple's expansion and its partnerships with central banks.
- The $XRP ETF allows investors to gain exposure to $XRP without owning the tokens, facilitating investment through traditional stock market channels.
- The price of $XRP increased following the announcement, currently at $2.69, up from a low of $2.12 on February 3.
- The approval may expedite the review process for other $XRP ETFs under consideration in the US.
- Solana ($SOL) has two approved ETFs in Brazil, which are expected to enhance its visibility and value.
- Solaxy ($SOLX), a Layer 2 solution on Solana, aims to resolve issues such as transaction failures and high fees, utilizing Roll-Up Technology.
As of now, the launch date for the $XRP ETF is not available. The development is anticipated to positively influence the broader crypto market and increase interest in related projects.
