Brazil Approves the World’s First Spot XRP ETF

2025-02-20 | 5m
Brazil has approved the world's first spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF), named the HASHDEX NASDAQ XRP FUNDO DE ÍNDICE. The country’s securities regulator, Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM), has given the green light, and the fund is currently in a pre-operational phase after being set up on December 10, 2024. Managed by Hashdex and administered by Genial Investimentos, the ETF will soon begin trading on Brazil’s B3 exchange, though an official launch date has not yet been announced.
A spot XRP ETF allows investors to gain exposure to XRP without directly purchasing or holding cryptocurrency, offering a regulated and more accessible investment option. Meanwhile, in the U.S., asset managers like CoinShares, Bitwise, 21Shares, and Grayscale have applied for similar funds, awaiting approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Experts suggest that a U.S.-based spot XRP ETF could bring billions in investments to the crypto space, overshadowing Brazil’s launch in terms of market impact.
