#XRP ETF New opportunities emerge as Brazil reinforces its role in the digital asset investment landscape.

Key Takeaways

Brazil has introduced the first-ever XRP spot ETF, debuting on the B3 stock exchange.

The ETF, managed by Hashdex, is set to track XRP's price using the Nasdaq XRP Reference Price Index.

The world’s first ETF that tracks the spot price of XRP, Ripple’s native crypto asset, officially debuted on Brazil’s main stock exchange B3 on April 25, according to a press release from Valor Econômico.

The fund, dubbed Hashdex Nasdaq XRP Fundo de Índice, or Hashdex Nasdaq XRP FI, is managed by Hashdex and administered by Genial Investments Securities Brokerage SA. Genial Bank SA is the ETF’s custodian.

The global asset manager secured greenlight from Brazil’s Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) to launch the XRP-tied fund in February. The approval came after the securities regulator approved Hashdex’s spot Solana ETF last August.

Following regulatory approval, the fund entered into a pre-operational phase. During this phase, it was not yet actively trading but was undergoing preparatory steps.

The ETF, now trading on B3 under the ticker XRPH11, replicates the XRP Reference Price Index (NQXRP), which tracks the spot price of XRP across major crypto exchanges, according to the fund’s documents.

The fund will invest at least 95% of its net assets in XRP and related digital assets, securities, or futures contracts linked to the index. As of the latest data, XRPH11’s net worth is nearly $40 million.
