Digital asset management company 3iQ recently submitted an application to launch the first Solana (SOL) exchange-traded product (ETP) in Canada. If approved, this ETP, called Solana Fund, would offer Canadian investors exposure to SOL without the need for hot wallets or linked blockchain technology.
Details of the Solana Fund
The Solana Fund would offer exposure to SOL and the daily price movements of the US dollar. Fund holders could also benefit from rewards from native SOL staking, estimated at around 6-8%. The funds would be managed by 3iQ and listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker QSOL. This product aims to offer investors an opportunity to participate in the growth of the Solana ecosystem.
The importance of adopting Solana’s FTEs
The adoption of Solana’s ETPs could be an important step for the cryptocurrency industry. ETPs allow investors to gain exposure to digital assets without having to manage hot wallets or security keys. This could facilitate access to cryptocurrencies for institutional and individual investors. In addition, it could enhance the credibility and legitimacy of digital assets in traditional financial markets.
Prospects for the future of the cryptocurrency industry
Solana’s adoption of ETPs could also have significant implications for the future of the cryptocurrency industry. ETPs could enable investors to gain exposure to digital assets without having to manage hot wallets or security keys. This could facilitate access to cryptocurrencies for both institutional and individual investors. In addition, increased adoption of ETPs could boost liquidity and stability in digital asset markets.
