Galaxy Digital on Wednesday said it will launch a crypto fund for Solana, the high-speed blockchain whose native token SOL has soared in value this year.

Galaxy and Bloomberg set the stage for this fund’s launch with their creation of a Solana index one month ago. Indeed, the new fund seeks to track the performance of that index, the companies said.
Investors must pitch a minimum of $25,000, according to Galaxy’s website. It said Coinbase will custody the coins.
Galaxy Fund Management handled $3.4 billion in assets across over 20 funds as of Nov. 30. Bitcoin and ether are the only other assets with single-token funds, making SOL the third with that distinction.
