The fund, called the Solana Fund, will trade under the ticker QSOL if approved by the OSC. In addition to offering exposure to the price movements of SOL, it will also offer exposure to staking yield generated by the network.
"Our goal is to continue pushing the envelope and maintaining Canada as an innovation hub. The Solana ETP will have staking enabled, similar to our Ether ETPs, allowing us to pass through the yield to investors," Christopher Matta, a Strategic Advisor to 3iQ, told CoinDesk in a phone interview.
3iQ Corp. is pleased to announce that we have submitted a preliminary prospectus for The Solana Fund (QSOL) in Canada in relation to an initial public offering.

"As pioneers in digital asset investment management, we look forward to continuing our mission to deliver regulated investment vehicles – embodying the highest standards and working with best-in-class partners – for individual and institutional investors to efficiently access the growing crypto asset class," Benhaim continued.
3iQ was one of the first fund managers to list a bitcoin fund, with its Bitcoin Fund on the TSX, and the first to launch a publicly listed Ether fund, also in Toronto.
The price of SOL remained modestly lower over the past 24 hours following the news, according to data from CoinDesk Indices.
