Hashdex, the leading Brazilian digital asset management firm, has announced that it will list the first pure-play Web 3.0 ETF, aiming to provide a secure and diversified method for investing in Web3 and its underlying smart contract platforms.

The ETF will list on Sao Paolo’s B3 exchange on March 30, 2022, under the ticker WEB311, after a round of initial orders beginning on March 14 and scheduled to close on March 25.

WEB311 will become the first publicly listed fund to reference CF Benchmarks' recently launched CF Web 3.0 Smart Contract Platforms Index.

The CF Web 3.0 Smart Contract Platforms Index is a liquid, investible benchmark portfolio index that tracks the return performance of smart contract platforms within the digital asset space.

The Bloomberg Terminal ticker for CF Web 3.0 Smart Contract Platforms Index is CFSPMCUB.

The index seeks to capture returns of all eligible protocols under the Settlement category and Programmable sub-category of CF Benchmarks’ CF Digital Asset Classification Structure (CF DACS) that launched in January.

Apart from its 4:00 pm, Brasilia Time publication, CF Web 3.0 Smart Contract Platforms Index – Brazil, has the same specifications as described here.

Index constituents are weighted by means of a capped free-float market capitalisation methodology, in accordance with the CF Digital Asset Series Ground Rules and the index methodology.

The index will initially consist of 7 assets that accurately reflect eligible returns of CF DACS’s Settlement category and Programmable sub-category.
