3iQ Aims to Launch North America’s First Solana ETF

As a seasoned crypto investor with a strong interest in staying ahead of the curve, I’m thrilled to hear about 3iQ’s latest venture – the Solana Fund. Having witnessed the success of their Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, I have full faith in this investment firm’s ability to innovate and deliver regulated investment vehicles for crypto assets.


Three Q Investments Limited, a Canadian financial institution, is seeking approval to introduce the first Exchange-Traded Product (ETP) based on Solana in North America.

As a financial analyst, I would explain that “The Solana Fund” is designed to provide Canadian investors with an opportunity to invest in the digital currency, SOL, associated with the Solana platform, all while bypassing the intricacies of managing the underlying blockchain technology themselves.

As a crypto investor, I’m excited about the news that our investment company is planning to list its new fund on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “QSOL.” This move comes after the successful launches of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, which have solidified the firm’s leadership role in the crypto investment space.

Based on the information provided in the company’s blog post, the Solana Fund is designed to monitor the value of SOL, deliver potential long-term returns, and distribute income derived from Solana’s network operations. 3iQ has teamed up with Coinbase Custody for managing these network earnings.

As leaders in the field of managing investments in digital assets, we are excited about continuing our commitment to providing regulated investment opportunities. These opportunities will uphold the highest standards and be collaborations with top-tier partners. They aim to make it simple for both individual and institutional investors to effectively invest in the crypto asset class.

said Greg Benhaim, the head of trading at 3iQ

Since its launch in 2020, Solana has gained significant popularity and is now the second-largest smart contract platform in terms of market capitalization and trading volume. For Canadian investors, the introduction of the Solana Fund represents an exciting new development in their country’s crypto investment landscape, as they currently have access only to spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.

With a market capitalization ranking it as the fifth largest cryptocurrency, adding Solana (SOL) to an Exchange-Traded Product (ETP) may indicate the increasing mainstream recognition of alternative blockchain networks.

The start date for the Solana Fund is still undetermined, as it awaits regulatory clearance. If given the green light, though, it would expand opportunities for various cryptocurrency investments in North America.
