“The launch of ETHA39 now allows investors to have access to the two largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization,” said Nicolas Gomez, BlackRock's head of ETFs, index investments, and products for Latin America.

In March, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) also started trading on the Brazilian stock exchange, which has become a solid market for institutional products. Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) also recently approved two Solana-based ETFs to be listed on B3.

In August, BlackRock's ETHA surpassed $1 billion in cumulative net inflows in the United States, becoming the first of 11 issuers to cross that mark in net inflows.
