Valour Brings Solana ETP (VSOL) to Brazil’s B3 Exchange - A Major Gateway for Institutional Crypto

Another traditional finance giant just blinked. Valour's Solana ETP is hitting Brazil's B3 exchange, and it's not just another listing—it's a direct bridge for institutional capital into one of crypto's most contested battlegrounds.

Why Brazil, and Why Now?

Forget the slow drip of retail adoption. This move targets the big money. B3 is Latin America's largest exchange by market cap, a hub for pension funds, asset managers, and investors who've been watching crypto from the sidelines with a mix of fear and fascination. Valour isn't just offering an asset; it's offering a familiar wrapper—an ETP—for institutions allergic to private keys and self-custody. It's compliance as a service for yield.

Solana's Institutional Makeover

This listing flips the script on Solana's narrative. No longer just the chain for degen traders and NFT gamblers, it's now a ticker symbol on a major regulated exchange. Valour's VSOL product wraps the underlying asset in a structure that bypasses the operational headaches of direct blockchain investment. It cuts out the technical friction, letting portfolios gain exposure to Solana's performance without ever touching a wallet. For fund managers, that's the difference between a 'no' and a 'maybe.'

The Bigger Picture: A Regulatory Beachhead

Brazil has been quietly building one of the world's more pragmatic crypto frameworks. This listing feels like a test—a controlled, regulated experiment in bringing a high-throughput, smart-contract platform to the mainstream financial system. Success here could blueprint similar moves across other emerging markets hungry for digital asset infrastructure. It turns speculative tech into a manageable portfolio line item.

Of course, wrapping volatile crypto assets in traditional finance packaging is a classic move—give the institutions the illusion of safety while they chase the same alpha as everyone else. Sometimes innovation just means putting a suit on a rocket.

Watch this space. When traditional exchanges start listing crypto ETPs for chains like Solana, it's not an endorsement of the technology's purity. It's a signal that the money has arrived, and it's ready to get to work—paperwork and all.

Expanding digital asset options in Brazil

The new Solana ETP expands Valour’s Brazilian offerings, which already include Valour Bitcoin (BTCV), Valour ethereum (ETHV), Valour XRP (XRPV), and Valour Sui (VSUI). All five products are set to start trading together, providing a range of leading digital assets for local investors. 

“Listing Valour Solana (VSOL) on B3 is a natural next step following the approval of our Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Sui products,” said Johan Wattenström, CEO of DeFi Technologies and Co-Founder of Valour. “Solana has become one of the most active LAYER 1 ecosystems in the world, and we are pleased to make regulated, exchange-traded exposure to SOL available to Brazilian investors through the B3 Exchange.”

Valour’s global reach with 100 ETPs across Europe

Valour currently manages around 100 digital asset ETPs across Europe that are listed on major exchanges like Stockholm’s Spotlight Stock Market, Frankfurt’s Börse, SIX Swiss Exchange, London Stock Exchange, and Euronext in Paris and Amsterdam.

The company’s products cover Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks, gaming and creator ecosystems, community and governance tokens, and modular tokenization infrastructure. Adding VSOL to Brazil makes it a part of the firm’s plan to expand outside Europe and grow in regions like Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

Why Brazil is a key market

Brazil is seen as a booming market, with the country having the largest financial market in Latin America, with over 213 million people connected by a single language and unified regulations. It also hosts the largest crypto economy in the region, with participation from both retail and institutional investors. 

“Across Europe, we’ve seen strong demand for diversified exposure that goes beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, and Solana has been a major part of that story. Adding VSOL to our Brazilian lineup builds on our initial four ETPs and further rounds out the product suite we are offering on B3. Over time, we expect this broader shelf to support additional Brazilian listings, structured products, and customized solutions tailored to the needs of local investors,” said Andrew Forson, President of DeFi Technologies and Chief Growth Officer of Valour, in the press release.

With VSOL, Valour gives Brazilian investors an easy, legal way to access Solana. The B3 Exchange will serve as the central hub for these products, linking Brazilian investors to a suite of digital assets without leaving the country.
