QR Capital gets approval to list Ethereum ETF on Brazil’s Stock Exchange
Brazil becomes the first country in Latin America to list Etherum ETF
Bitcoin ETH is already on Brazil’s Stock Exchange.
ETH prices regain lost steam
YEREVAN (CoinChapter.com)- Brazil’s Blockchain investment firm QR Capital will list an Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF) on Brazil’s stock exchange after winning approval from Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM), Brazil’s securities regulator. QR Capital will list the country’s first Ethereum ETF on the Sao Paulo-based B3 exchange under the ticker QETH11.
QR Capital broke the news on Twitter.
🔴 BREAKING: CVM aprova o 1º ETF de Ethereum da América Latina, o QETH11.

QR Capital will follow Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME Group)’s CF Ether Reference Rate, while it will entrust Gemini to take care of the ETH custody. The Gemini Trust Company, LLC is a digital currency exchange and custodian that allows customers to buy, sell, and store digital assets. The company has its headquarters in New York.
The partnership with Gemini means QETH11 investors won’t need to worry about safely storing their private key or seed phrase as Gemini will take care of that for them.
According to the company website, QR Asset Management manages 594 million reais ($115 million) worth of digital assets and has more than 20,000 clients.
Although the development marks the first Ethereum ETF to enter Latin America, this is not the first overall ETF to be approved in the Americas. Moreover, it is not even the first ETF on QR Capital listings. Last month, QR Capital’s bitcoin ETF began trading on B3, making it the first bitcoin ETF approved in Latin America.
🔴 URGENTE: CVM acaba de aprovar o primeiro ETF de Bitcoin da América Latina, o QBTC11.
O ETF da QR Asset Management, gestora do grupo QR Capital, será listado na B3, que se torna a segunda bolsa do mundo a ter um ETF 100% de Bitcoin.
Earlier, Canada had become the first country in the Americas to offer crypto ETFs. Purpose Bitcoin ETF launched under the ticker TSX: BTCC.B in February, becoming the first direct custody bitcoin ETF in the world. In addition, Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) launched three ETF funds in February and March.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the USA, however, is in no hurry to allow crypto ETFs in the country. At least nine companies have submitted applications with the SEC for approval, including Grayscale, Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd., and Fidelity Investments. None, however, have received the much-coveted node yet.
The markets opened with ETH prices struggling below the $1,900 mark today. As the news of the Ehereum ETF bagging a sport on Brazil’s stock exchange spread, ETH prices began to rise. In no time, ETH had gained its lost moment and crossed the $1,900 mark.
It currently hovers a little above the $2,000 mark, thanks to support from the Ethereum community.
Although the markets have been overall bearish since May, ETH can still expect turning tides soon. With the NFT market catching steam, ETH will be used more regularly. In addition, all major digital art auctions use Ethereum for transactions and not Bitcoin or other altcoins.
Moreover, with significant updates, such as London Hard Fork, on its way, Etherum 2.0 will push Ethereum’s price to new levels. The London Hard Fork includes five Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), notably EIP 1559 and EIP 3554.
