As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I must admit that the recent developments in the altcoin industry have been nothing short of intriguing. The approval of the first spot Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF) in Brazil is undoubtedly a significant milestone for the crypto space and could potentially pave the way for more institutional investment.
The cryptocurrency sector, spearheaded by XRP supported by Ripple Labs and Solana (SOL), has garnered substantial attention from institutional investors and individual traders due to noteworthy headlines. For example, the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) granted approval for the first exchange-traded fund (ETF) based on Solana spot trading on Wednesday.
The Solana ETF in Brazil, managed by QR asset manager and overseen by Vortx, is currently going through a pre-launch phase that needs approval from the Brazilian stock exchange, B3. Once this approval is granted, the Solana ETF in Brazil will be listed and will follow the CME CF Solana dollar reference rate.
“The Exchange-Traded Fund underlines our dedication to providing quality and variety to Brazilian investors. We take pride in being innovators on the global stage in this area, strengthening Brazil’s status as a prominent market for secure investments in cryptocurrencies,” Theodoro Fleury, head of QR Asset, pointed out.
Rising Demand for Solana and Its Products
Following the U.S.’s recent approval of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for Bitcoin and Ethereum, there’s been a lot of talk about which altcoin could be next to join this path. Experts believe that Solana, with its strong foundations and active developer and investor community, is the prime candidate for future ETF listings in the spot market.
Significantly, SOL can be traded on numerous centralized and decentralized platforms, ensuring a substantial liquidity for both individual and corporate clients. Moreover, as the sole leading blockchain with a functional web3-compatible smartphone called Saga mobile, the Solana network is anticipated to experience rapid expansion in the upcoming years.
Currently, the combined value locked within the Solana ecosystem stands at approximately $4.79 billion, while the market capitalization of its stablecoins amounts to roughly $3.68 billion.
Notably, the Solana Web3 network is currently challenging Ethereum’s dominance in on-chain activity.
Additionally, the Solana system boasts a lively collection of meme tokens, valued at approximately $7 billion, with a typical daily trading volume nearing $3 billion.
Impact on SOL Price Action
Due to strengthening aspects within Solana’s foundation, SOL has surpassed Binance Coin (BNB) as the fourth largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. At present, Solana boasts a market cap of approximately $71.3 billion compared to BNB’s value of roughly $71.1 billion.

In simpler terms, the value of SOL, compared to the US dollar, is about to surge towards its record high after remaining stable for the past four months. The price of Solana has regained its 50 and 200-day moving averages as a base following the recent boost in the crypto market.
As a result, the Solana (SOL) price has become quite stable near $129, suggesting it might withstand potential future sell-offs if they occur.
