- QDFI11 is the first DeFi ETF to be listed on B3, where it traded at an initial price of 10 Brazilian reals. The product is open to the public and has a management fee of 0.9% per year.
- In addition to QDFI11, QR has a bitcoin ETF and an ether ETF listed on B3. "Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs were just the entrance to a much richer and more diverse investment universe," QR Capital CEO Fernando Carvalho said in a statement.
- In January, QR’s main competitor, Brazil-based crypto asset manager Hashdex, announced plans to release an ETF following 12 DeFi tokens on the Brazilian stock exchange on Feb. 17.
