Title: Spot SOL ETFs have been approved in Brazil: will SOL price to the moon?
Post by: KryptoBull on August 24, 2024, 08:44:20 AM
The rejection of Spot SOL ETFs in the US has disappointed many SOL investors [1], and BlackRock has also ruled out the possibility of launching spot ETFs for other altcoins in the market soon as they want to focus on spot BTC & ETH ETFs [2]. However, the SOL price has not been negatively impacted and has remained above 120 USD for the past few months.

(https://www.tradingview.com/x/lGMkIDGl/)

Good news has just arrived for Solana fans: spot SOL ETFs [3, 4] have been approved in Brazil, a country that has become crypto-friendly in an effort to protect its economy from high regional inflation [5]. I don't dare expect that billions of USD will soon flow into these spot SOL ETFs and push SOL price to 1K USD, but this will still be positive news that strengthens confidence in SOL and helps SOL attract more investment. In countries with high inflation like Brazil, crypto is an option for asset preservation and investment. BTC will still be the crypto king, but SOL and spot SOL ETFs will also become more attractive to investors in this country.

Additionally, if spot SOL ETFs are truly successful in Brazil, top funds like BlackRock and Fidelity may reconsider and propose spot SOL ETFs in the US to gain additional profits from this potential market. That's the best I can expect for this season or the next.

I would like to know your opinion on this issue:

I think the listing on the B3 (Brazilian Stock Exchange) will take place on August 29th
While the BTC ETFs have moved the market a lot, with Grayscale's sales and BlackRock's purchases, the ETH ETFs don't seem to have had that much effect on the price, so I have my doubts about the potential for Solana's ETF to rise in Brazil, given that Brazil isn't such a big market

It's an example that can be followed and it may only be a matter of time before it's approved in the United States, where it's a market that can inject a lot of money
But I also have an opinion that the rumors of a possible approval may help the price of SOL to rise, but due to speculation rather than the fact of the ETF itself

I would like to know your opinion on this issue:
  • Do you own SOL in your balance?
  • Do you think that spot SOL ETFs in Brazil will drive SOL price up?
  • Besides spot SOL ETFs, what are the main drivers for SOL price growth?
1. I have a small amount of SOL, probably just enough to cover transaction fees when investing in other tokens within the Solana ecosystem. Unfortunately, I didn't benefit from SOL impressive price increase from $10 to $200.

2. Brazil is not yet a large market, and most Spot ETFs that have a significant impact, such as Gold Spot ETFs or BTC Spot ETFs, need to be introduced in the world's largest market - the US. Therefore, although it has a positive impact, the SOL Spot ETF in Brazil cannot significantly boost SOL price.

3. SOL price increase has been driven by many positive factors: the strength and speed of Solana, huge inflows from investment funds, the success of memecoins and crypto-phones within the ecosystem. These will continue to be the main drivers of SOL success in this cycle.

I think most investors understand it, they won't be very disappointed. The rejection doesn't mean to remove the chance of SOL be accepted in ETF spot someday. It is normal if an altcoin is difficult to be accepted, even ETH wasn't easy to be accepted in ETF spot. SEC may want to focus on BTC and ETH first, they may consider SOL and other altcoins later.

This is good news for SOL holders. I think this should trigger the increase of SOL price. It may also be a reason for SEC to consider again the approval of SOL ETF spot in the future. Brazil is a more friendly with crypto, it makes sense if they aren't difficult to accept SOL ETF spot there.

The reality is that both BTC and ETH had futures ETFs prior to spot ETFs being approved, and it was only after major funds officially entered this market that spot ETFs were passed. SOL has not yet met these favorable conditions. I hope all SOL holders understand this and continue to expect growth from Solana and the SOL price in the future.

I believe a spot SOL ETF in the US is a long-term goal we can strive for. In the meantime, the launch of spot SOL ETFs in other countries is a positive development for Solana. When Solana truly matures and has a strong position in the crypto market like Ether, we will have a spot SOL ETF in the US to receive a stable inflow from pension funds and investment funds.

SOL may not fit with the condition but it doesn't mean to have no chance to be approved. I think there is still chance to be approved in the future. Sure, all SOL holders understand it, they won't think about it too much. SOL price still grows well, investors mostly only focus on the price.  ;D

I also believe it, SOL will be approved someday. When it is approved, there should be a big hype on SOL. It is good for the development of SOL in the future. But everyone must be patient, it should take time and progress.  ;)

-I don't have Solana in my wallet yet.
-I'm not sure if an ETF for Solana in Brazil will have a positive effect on increasing the price of Solana coins.
The real evidence is that currently Solana's price is still following the price of Bitcoin.
-It seems like a factor of Smartcontracts to create new tokens on the Solana chain, maybe more precisely Meme tokens that can provide such high hype to the community, although after that the Meme coin will fade again quickly.

Currently, several ETF funds have proposed ETFs for XRP, LTC, and SOL. This indicates that while BlackRock might be primarily interested in BTC and ETH ETFs, other funds are taking a broader approach. They're still pursuing crypto-based ETF products to enhance their clients' asset management revenue.

The future remains uncertain, but we can anticipate that Spot ETFs will be just one of many catalysts for SOL price increase. I'm more interested in the short-term media impact on SOL price rather than the immediate effects of increased inflows into SOL Spot ETFs, given that we're still grappling with the negative net flow of ETH Spot ETFs.

I didn’t know that the impact of the Brazil market is up to 15bn now. Since there are a lot of people there, I guess it could help retain the price at a good level and then wait for other businesses or countries that would support the ETF.

Personality, I have SOL. Some also staked.

I do think it's a bullish event both for SOL and ETFs in general, and maybe it will be reconsidered in the future (about ETFs for SOL in the US).
Sol has potential, and it should be utilized accordingly by those who have the belief in it.

While the Brazilian crypto market may not be as prominent, the presence of a spot SOL ETF there is a positive indicator. It signifies that SOL has gained recognition and value in another country, preceding potential US approval for a spot SOL ETF.

I anticipate strong growth for SOL prices in the future, regardless of the availability of a spot SOL ETF. SOL's existence and success are not contingent upon spot ETFs. The Sol ecosystem has matured to the point where it can sustain itself long-term and continue to serve user needs.

I think that you could express your best opinion in this post. So i am also agree with your comment. We also saw that brazilian stock exchange could approved SOL in cryptocurrency market. So i am also believe that it will be best opportunity for sol. We also believe that next time sol also achieve best popularity in cryptocurrency market. Because if we follow in cryptocurrency market, we can see that sol price is increase day by day. So i believe that within a short time sol price could be best popularity in cryptocurrency world.

The approval of a spot SOL ETF in Brazil is great news for SOL, even though Brazil isn't typically known as a crypto powerhouse or on the radar of most crypto investors. We tend to focus more on the US spot SOL ETF as it could potentially open the doors for SOL to receive inflows from traditional investors and pension funds.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and we need to take things one step at a time to get a US spot SOL ETF. With several funds currently proposing and awaiting SEC approval, this has already bolstered investor confidence in SOL and its ecosystem.

The approval of spot SOL ETFs in Brazil is definitely some positive news for Solana investors. Well to an extent I think this development may increase liquidity, attract investors, and also to a nice extent drive up demand. However, market dynamics and global economic conditions will definitely still influence SOL's price.

Key drivers for SOL price growth include adoption just like every crypto currency in the market.  If the spot SOL ETFs in Brazil proves kinda successful, top funds like BlackRock and Fidelity may reassess their stance on SOL ETFs in the US and with quite a nice environment I think solana will definitely do better.

Thanks for the update. I tried looking for the exact amount of money that's flowed into QSOL11 but couldn't find specific data. Price and trading volume alone can't give us that figure, so it's hard to gauge QSOL11's success.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be as much investor interest in QSOL11 compared to US spot BTC and ETH ETFs. It looks like SOL still needs a US spot ETF to attract traditional investors and have a more successful uptrend.

In my opinion, Brazilians who want exposure to Solana buy the coin directly and not through ETFs, which would be more interesting for institutional investors.
And in Brazil it's very different from the US, the volume here is much smaller

What information would you like to know? I can look it up for you here

I'm not entirely clear on Brazil's investment regulations. If large funds can easily purchase SOL directly and are comfortable working with blockchains, they might not need to access a spot SOL ETF. This contrasts with US regulations where pension funds are limited in the assets they can hold and don't want to self-custody private keys, so a spot ETF is the only way for them to invest in crypto.

If possible, could you share the total value of SOL held in QSOL11? This is the most crucial figure to gauge investor interest in this product while trading volume doesn't accurately reflect this.

To be honest, I'm also unclear about the institutional investment rules for cryptos in Brazil
When it's a company, it's a bit different then for retail

I managed to find the total investments in the ETF, take a look:

33,32 millions of brazilian reais is something like 5,77 million USD

What do you think? Expected more?

Thank you so much for this information +. We now have concrete data to assess the success level of the spot SOL ETF.

5.8M USD over 3 months is not a large amount, which is equivalent to buying 30K SOL and no longer creating selling pressure on the market. This amount is actually quite small but is also a good sign that this product has potential customers to target. I hope that if the spot SOL ETF is approved in the US, the inflow of funds will be larger, for example, 100 times compared to this product in Brazil.

The recent approval of spot Solana (SOL) ETFs in Brazil marks an exciting development, as it allows investors direct exposure to SOL through a regulated investment vehicle. Spot ETFs track the real-time price of SOL, meaning that investors can buy and sell shares that represent SOL without directly holding the cryptocurrency itself.The approval of spot SOL ETFs in Brazil is a promising development for Solana, likely contributing to increased legitimacy and potential price growth. However, while it could support a gradual rise in SOL’s price, other broader factors will still play a major role in determining SOL’s long-term price trajectory. For significant upward movement, more extensive global adoption and positive macroeconomic conditions would be needed.

You're welcome  ;)

It's a good amount of money, but considering the whole market, it's not a huge mark, maybe with this spikes in price, could bring more money into
I'm sure if they launch in US, 100x is a good estimate to start, and US being the main market, atracts more attention and more speculation, possible making SOL rise even more

It's tough to say if the amount of SOL in the Brazilian spot SOL ETF has created enough buying pressure to boost SOL's price globally. Maybe 30K SOL isn't enough to soak up all the sell-offs on OTC markets. But let's look at the positive psychological impact. It could boost investor expectations for a US spot SOL ETF in the future, maybe even this season!

Brazil's economy isn't huge, so we weren't expecting too much from QSOL11 to begin with. Things will be different once we have a US spot SOL ETF launched by top funds. If the spot ETH ETF is really successful, I hope the spot SOL ETF can attract 50% of the same inflow.

Even equipped with the victory of Trump which made the price of Bitcoin soar very quickly, then it was also followed by altcoins, especially top coins. It is not surprising that the price of SOL also soared very quickly. Even now it is at a rate of $ 210. Indeed, it has not reached the previous ATH, but if we look at the price, it has grown very rapidly. Not only that, it turns out that the market cap of Solana has also flown past BNB, now Solana is in 4th position in the coin market cap. This is surprising, but it makes sense. Because Solana is indeed a project that good with very significant and ongoing development

Many projects aspire to achieve the same success as Sol, with its vibrant ecosystem, community attention, and the meteoric rise of its native token SOL from 10 USD to 200 USD. However, most projects in this market cannot replicate this feat and remain at their bottom, or even continue to make new lows as investors sell weak altcoins to focus on investing in BTC.

SOL has grown strongly along with the overall market trend, not necessarily due to the positive impact of the spot SOL ETF in Brazil. Nevertheless, I will still wait for the launch of the spot SOL ETF in the US next year for SOL to have the momentum to increase in price and directly threaten Ether's position.

As far as I know, VanEck is trying to launch the first Solana ETF in US
If it's approved, it could help Solana's price a little, and depending on the moment, it could even be more eye-catching than the ETH ETFs that weren't as good as the BTC one

SOL's momentum is very good, which makes me wonder what price level it could be at today if it weren't for FTX

Usually new projects only focus on promoting names involving projects like Solana, and they often make statements like "the next Solana" and the like that make it seem like they will be like Solana and invite newcomers to follow them.

but we will always know what the results are like, yes, at most it's just a short hype and in the end like fees, rugpull or it ends up being shitcoin. While Solana is different, Solana's Web3 infrastructure continues to grow and produces several products and features that are integrated with well-known applications. and there are still many more advances in Solana, that's why they can move quickly and even take over BNB's position.

Some smaller funds are trying to get a spot SOL ETF approved in the US. I hope their actions and SOL's success will change the minds of larger funds like BlackRock and Fidelity. The success of a spot ETH ETF is also crucial to confirm traditional investors' demand for investing in altcoins, after which other spot ETFs can be proposed and approved.

If Sol wasn't backed by FTX, it might not have become so popular and gained so many users in 2021. It could have failed like Eos despite having high speed and low fees. In general, everything that exists has a reason, they are reasonable so they can exist. Sol's existence at this point is a necessity in the development journey of crypto!
