On Thursday, 3iQ Digital Asset Management announced that it has submitted a preliminary prospectus for the Solana Fund (QSOL) to the Canadian securities regulatory authorities (excluding the province of Quebec).
If approved, QSOL will be the first exchange-traded product (ETP) for Solana (SOL) in North America, to be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) under the ticker “QSOL”.
This potential listing is a significant achievement for 3iQ, a leader in digital asset investments. Prior to this, the company introduced the first publicly traded funds for Bitcoin and Ethereum in Canada.
