BlackRock Lists Ethereum ETF on the Brazilian Stock Exchange

As an analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I find myself increasingly intrigued by the growing presence of cryptocurrencies and their associated ETFs. The latest development – BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA39) listing on Brazil’s B3 exchange – is a testament to the global recognition and acceptance of digital assets.On Wednesday, as reported by the local news source Portal do Bitcoin, BlackRock plans to list its iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) on the B3 stock exchange in Brazil.

The Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) can be bought and sold using the identifier ETHA39, which stands for a Brazilian Depositary Receipt (BDR). Essentially, a BDR is a document that represents ownership of shares from foreign companies traded within Brazil.

“Nicolas Gomez, head of ETFs, index investments, and products for Latin America at BlackRock, stated that the debut of ETHA39 provides investors with an opportunity to invest in the top two digital currencies based on market capitalization,” is a natural and easy-to-read paraphrase of the original sentence.

Last month (August), BlackRock’s ETHA product exceeded one billion dollars in total net investments in the U.S., making it the pioneer among 11 providers to reach this significant milestone in terms of net investments.
