In a potential game-changer for the cryptocurrency market, Brazil is on the cusp of becoming the first country to launch a spot Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF). The approval by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) on August 7 has ignited excitement and speculation about the future of Solana ETFs globally.
While the final green light is still pending from the Brazilian stock exchange, B3, industry experts believe this development could set a precedent for other countries, particularly the United States, to follow suit.
“Brazil has consistently shown a progressive stance on cryptocurrencies,” said Manthan Dave, co-founder of Ripple-backed Palisade. “Their early adoption of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, coupled with Europe’s favorable ETP regulations, has created a conducive environment for innovation.”
The potential for a Solana ETF in the US, especially ahead of the 2024 presidential election, has sparked intense interest. With the Republican party generally seen as more crypto-friendly, the possibility of approval before the election could significantly impact market sentiment.
However, experts caution against immediate expectations for a US Solana ETF. “Bitcoin ETFs have been in the pipeline for years,” noted Alejo Pinto, founder of Solana layer-2 network Lumio. “The US regulatory landscape is complex, and it’s unlikely we’ll see a Solana ETF there in the near future.”
This potential regulatory lag could be a boon for Solana. “A Solana ETF approval in the US would undoubtedly have a positive impact on the price,” Pinto explained. “But since it’s not expected anytime soon, the market hasn’t fully priced in this possibility.”

As the market awaits further developments in Brazil, Solana’s price action remains under scrutiny. While the cryptocurrency has shown signs of life, breaking a long-standing resistance level, it still has a significant distance to cover to reach its previous all-time high.
The launch of a Solana ETF in Brazil could be a pivotal moment for the cryptocurrency, potentially attracting new investors and driving increased adoption. The world is watching closely as this groundbreaking development unfolds.
