Solana Expands in Brazil With a Major Listing

Brazil did not wait for crypto to fall in line. It simply decided to open the official path for it. With VSOL on the B3, Brazil takes a step forward: access to Solana through a regulated framework. And for Valour, the DeFi Technologies subsidiary, this is much more than a simple launch. It is a signal addressed to an entire continent.

Solana Joins the Institutional Investors’ Table

Valour has received approval from the B3 to list its Solana-backed ETP, named Valour Solana VSOL. The product is based on the SOL token, the network’s native asset, and aims to replicate its performance within a traditional stock market framework. This vehicle provides Brazilian individuals and funds exposure to Solana, without wallets, without custody, and without direct holding.

In a country where regulations have tightened without ever stifling innovation, this product arrives at the right time. It introduces Solana into institutional portfolios through recognized channels like stocks and bonds. Implicitly, it marks the continued normalization of crypto within traditional financial infrastructures.

Behind the move, the strategy is clear: Valour aims to be a bridge between mature and emerging markets, hungry for regulated exposure. After Europe, Brazil becomes its new frontier.

Brazil, the Silent Locomotive of Global Digital Assets

It is no coincidence that Valour chose Brazil. According to Chainalysis, the country is now in the global top 5 for adoption, behind India and the United States. Trading volumes are exploding, institutional demand is organizing, and stablecoins are becoming a parallel currency in some sectors.

The Central Bank itself has acknowledged this transformation. Stablecoins are now massively used for domestic payments and cross-border transactions. This reality has pushed local fintechs like Crown to develop stablecoins indexed to the real, opening the door to new hybrid financial products, halfway between public debt and digital assets.

Local exchanges are following the trend. Mercado Bitcoin, a titan of the Latin American ecosystem, has recently pivoted towards the tokenization of real-world assets, such as bonds and fund shares, thus responding 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 a select club of “exchange-traded” cryptos where Bitcoin and Ethereum are already present, completing a regulated access trio to the sector’s main capitalizations. And even when the spot price falls, the signal remains clear: Solana continues to attract flows via ETFs, driven by demand increasingly favoring institutional rails.
