3iQ Corp. introduced the new Solana ETF with the help of Figment, a renowned staking provider, known for its extensive experience in secure and compliant staking solutions. Pascal St-Jean, CEO of 3iQ Corp., emphasized innovation in regulated digital asset investments.
Pascal St-Jean, President and CEO, 3iQ Corp., “At 3iQ, we are proud to continue our tradition of innovation by launching one of the world’s first Solana staking ETFs. This product builds off 3iQ’s world-first Ether Staking ETF launched in 2023 in providing secure, regulated access to native yield from digital assets. We are delighted to introduce this product in partnership with Figment, a proven leader in institutional staking infrastructure. This collaboration allows us to build on our reputation as being the first to launch ground-breaking investment products and reinforces our commitment to aligning with top-tier partners who share our vision for unlocking the full value of the digital asset ecosystem.”
SOLQ integrates Solana’s native staking rewards into its investment framework, offering 6%-8% annual yields, according to 3iQ’s projections. The Ontario Securities Commission’s approval demonstrates Canada’s supportive regulatory stance for crypto-based financial products.
Experts highlight the ETF’s launch as a pivotal moment for institutional acceptance of staking products, promising enhanced participation and security in the Solana network. The potential for further ETF offerings by major Canadian managers is anticipated to sustain capital inflows. As institutional interest swells, related protocols and networks may see increased activity and security improvements, benefiting from broader market acceptance. Insights suggest further growth as regulations evolve and market demand escalates.
