Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission Approves Spot Solana ETF

Comparison with Solana ETPs and Benchmark Rate
The benchmark rate, developed by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and Crypto Facilities (CF), aggregates data from several trusted exchanges to provide an accurate quote for Solana.
Additionally, the information is further filtered for noise and market anomalies, capturing the weighted average price of Solana over time.
QR, which led the charge in the rollout of spot ETFs in Brazil, became the first to roll out a 100% Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF in the South American nation. In contrast with Brazil, it’s highly unlikely that the application for a spot Solana ETF by VanEck in the US will be green-lighted anytime soon based on the current policies of the SEC.
