Brazil approves the first spot XRP ETF while Braza Bank gets ready for a stablecoin release

A major turning point in Brazil’s crypto sector as the nation has approved an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF). Braza Bank is preparing to introduce on the XRP Ledger a stablecoin connected to the Brazilian real. These advances show Brazil’s rising acceptance of digital assets and blockchain technologies.

As Brazil positions itself in the crypto space, its financial scene is creating waves with the approval of its first spot XRP ETF. The Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM), Brazil’s securities regulator, has given the green light to the Hashdex Nasdaq XRP Index Fund, which will soon begin trading on the B3 exchange. Although the formal debut date is currently unknown, fund management Hashdex has reassured forthcoming updates shortly.

This license corresponds with growing global demand for XRP-based investment products. In the U.S., the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently acknowledged multiple filings for spot XRP ETFs from Nasdaq and Cboe BZX, signaling a broader institutional push toward crypto assets.

Concurrent with this, major participant in Brazil’s interbank market, Braza Bank, has revealed intentions to introduce BBRL, a stablecoin linked to the Brazilian real. Built atop the XRP Ledger (XRPL), BBRL seeks to transform financial accessibility and cross-border transactions. Targeting a 30% share of the local market, Braza Bank intends to attract retail customers by the end of 2025; hence, initially, the stablecoin will be only accessible to institutional clients.

The stablecoin space’s entrance by Braza Bank fits Brazil’s larger blockchain projects. The country’s central bank is spearheading the DREX project, a blockchain-based infrastructure designed for asset tokenization, cross-border payments, and financial innovation. With almost 90% of digital asset transactions employing stablecoins, central bank authorities have observed their explosive rise in Brazil.

These advancements not only signal increased institutional adoption but also pave the way for wider blockchain integration into the country’s financial ecosystem.
