Brazil is making progress in creating new investment opportunities related to cryptocurrencies. and now they have even launched a new bitcoin ETF.
Under the ticker BITH11, the Hashdex Nasdaq Bitcoin Reference Price Repeats the Nasdaq Bitcoin Reference Price Index performance.
It will be the second ETF available in Brazil, offering 100% exposure to Bitcoin and competing with the QR CME CF bitcoin reference rate or QBTC11 that has been approved recently.
But the Hashdex proposal is different for competitors who manage its QR assets. It seeks to neutralize carbon emissions from bitcoin deposits and thus turning to a greener alternative.
The Cryptocurrency Rating Institute (CCRI) in Germany, also known as the first green bitcoin ETF in Brazil, estimates the environmental impact of BITH11 investment, allowing 0.15% of its liquid assets to be invested in carbon credits and environmentally friendly technologies.
B3 one of the leading crypto exchange’s director Rogerio Santana, stressed the importance of this initiative, saying that BITH11 will have a positive impact not only on the industry but also on the entire ecosystem and also that he is proud to be one of the most comprehensive cryptocurrency investment offers in the region currently.
Following these happenings, a few days ago, the first 100% Ethereum ETF was also approved. QR CME CF controls ether reference rate or QETH11, QR assets and tracks the pricing nature of ETH through CME CF ether reference rate.
Thus by following up this way the Hashdex and QR Assets control the Brazilian crypto ETF market. The two investment firms put the country on the podium with the most diverse exposure to cryptocurrency ETFs.
