Canadian fund manager files for Solana spot ETF

On Jun 21, 2024

3iQ Digital Asset Management applied the first-ever Solana spot ETF product.

Solana (SOL) is a popular Proof-of-stake (PoS) crypto network that can process up to 70,000 transactions per second (TPS), thanks to its special protocol Proof-of-history (PoH).

On 20 June 2024, 3iQ Digital Asset Management, a Canadian digital asset investment fund manager, announced that it had submitted a preliminary prospectus for The Solana Fund (QSOL) in Canada in connection with an initial public offering.

The company noted that this move continued its track record of innovation. If the necessary regulatory approvals are received, the Fund would become the first Solana exchange-traded product to be listed in North America.

Bloomberg ETF expert James Seyffart said that Canada has been ahead of the crypto adoption curve, having introduced spot Bitcoin and spot Ethereum ETFs before the US even launched futures ETFs for these assets.

UPDATE: 3iQ just filed to launch the first Solana ETF in Canada (and thus North America). Looking to launch under the ticker $QSOL. Canada had spot Bitcoin and spot Ethereum ETFs before the US even got futures ETFs for either asset. h/t @alextapscott https://t.co/Ra6vDdepil pic.twitter.com/LRO4NJWhAr
