Crypto: Solana lands on Brazil’s largest exchange
Brazil didn’t wait for crypto to fall into line. He simply decided to open an official path for him. With VSOL at B3, Brazil reaches a milestone: access to the Solana through a regulated framework. And for Valour, a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies, it’s much more than a launch. It is a signal addressed to the entire continent.
In short
- Valor launches VSOL at B3, providing regulated exposure to Solana via a real-time listed ETP
- Brazil accelerates into crypto, driven by adoption, stablecoins and institutional appetite
- Thanks to this listing, Solana is further anchored in traditional financial channels outside the spot market.
Solana is invited to the table of institutional investors
Valor receives B3 approval to list its Solana-backed ETP called Valor Solana VSOL. The product is based on the SOL token, a native network asset, and aims to replicate its performance within the traditional stock market. This vehicle gives Brazilian individuals and funds exposure to Solana, no wallets, no escrow, no direct holding.
In a country where regulations have tightened without ever slowing innovation, this product comes at the right time. Brings Solana into institutional portfolios through recognized channels such as stocks and bonds. Underlying this is the ongoing normalization of cryptocurrencies in traditional financial infrastructures.
The strategy behind the operation is clear: Valor wants to be a bridge between mature and emerging markets and is interested in regulated exposures. After Europe, Brazil becomes its new frontier.
Brazil, the silent engine of global digital assets
It is no coincidence that Valor chose Brazil. According to Chainalysis, the country is now in the top 5 globally for adoption, behind India and the United States. Trade volumes are exploding, institutional demand is organizing, and stablecoins are becoming a parallel currency in certain sectors.
Even the central bank itself recognized this transformation. Stablecoins are now widely used for domestic payments and cross-border transactions. This reality has prompted local fintechs like Crown to develop real-indexed stablecoins, opening the door to new hybrid financial products, halfway between public debt and digital assets.
Local exchanges are following suit. Mercado Bitcoin, a juggernaut of the Latin American ecosystem, has recently focused on tokenizing real-world assets such as bonds and fund shares, thus catering to growing institutional demand. The message is clear: crypto in Brazil is no longer a speculative bet, it is an alternative financial infrastructure.
With this new listing, Solana joins the limited club of cryptocurrency “stock markets” that already includes Bitcoin and Ethereum, completing the trio of regulated access to major capitalizations in the sector. And even as the spot declines, the signal remains clear: Solana continues to attract flows through ETFs, driven by demand that increasingly prefers institutional channels.
