If approved by the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), The Solana Fund will trade under the ticker QSOL and is designed to provide investors with exposure to SOL. Additionally, the fund aims to offer opportunities for long-term capital appreciation and staking yield generated by the Solana network.

As the investment manager and portfolio manager of QSOL, 3iQ will oversee the fund’s operations. The agent for the offering is Canaccord Genuity, with Tetra Trust and Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC, serving as custodians. Additionally, Coinbase Custody’s institutional staking infrastructure will be used to support SOL staking in the Solana Fund.
