Spot <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/what-is-ethereum-history-and-beginners-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a> Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) has reached Brazil after BlackRock finally attained the regulatory green light to list the product on Brazil’s B3 exchange.&nbsp;
Expected to debut today, August 28, the ETF is structured through an international asset receipt (BDR) and would be listed under the code ETHA39. Experts also explain that the product is defined as Brazilian Depositary Receipts (BDR) – certificates that represent shares issued by a company in other countries.&nbsp;
According to a local blog <a href="https://portaldobitcoin.uol.com.br/blackrock-lanca-etf-de-ethereum-no-brasil-via-bdr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">post</a>, the asset would be worth one-third of BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA). This implies that the starting price would range between R$40 and R$50 ($7.26 and $9.0), depending on the price movement. In addition, the BDR is expected to have the management fee waived for a year, bringing the fee to 0.12% on the first $2.5 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM).
Commenting on this, the head of ETFs, index investments, and products at BlackRock for Latin America, Nicolas Gomez, disclosed that the latest development directly exposes the biggest cryptos by market caps to investors within the region.&nbsp;
Also, the director of BlackRock in Brazil, Cristiano Castro, hinted that ETHA39 could largely support a range of blockchain applications.&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 The launch of ETHA39 expands the offering of digital assets and simplifies investors’ access to an asset that has the potential to support a wide and diverse range of blockchain applications.
</blockquote>
The price of ETH has not reacted much to this exciting news as it remains 8% down in the last 24 hours and trading below $2,500.&nbsp;

In March, BlackRock’s iShares <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/what-is-bitcoin-btc-history-and-beginner-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> Trust ETF (IBIT), which has been the most successful among the ten US-approved ETFs, was launched in Brazil with a 0.25% management fee subject to a reduction to 0.12% in the first year.&nbsp;
B3’s superintendent of interest and currency products Felipe Gonçalves, at that time, attributed the move to the growing demand for the asset class in Brazil.&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 This is another opportunity for investors to include exposure to Bitcoin in their portfolios. The growing interest in the crypto market by investors from all over the world has sparked a search for options in the Brazilian capital market as well.
</blockquote>
Recently, BlackRock’s ETHA hit a historic landmark, becoming the first of all the issuers to reach $1 billion in net inflows. Comparatively, Fidelity’s FETH recorded a net inflow of $367 million, Bitwise’s ETHW had $310 million, and Grayscale’s ETH recorded $227 million.
It also held $860 million in net assets to surpass Grayscale’s mini ether trust (ETH) and Ethereum trust (ETHE). Based on the 2024 inflows, BlackRock’s Bitcoin fund made it in the top five of all ETFs, including non-crypto ones.&nbsp;
Brazil, on the other hand, is gradually embracing the asset class as its Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) recently approved the second Solana ETF. Currently, in the pre-operational phase, SOL ETF would be offered by Brazil-based asset manager Hashdex in partnership with a local investment bank, BTG Pactual. Its success is expected to influence the US to consider its approval as indicated in our recent <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/solana-etf-hits-snag-bloomberg-analyst-believes-approval-depends-on-trump-win-in-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">report</a>.&nbsp;
