In an email sent to clients by ARK Invest, which was obtained by Cointelegraph, the asset management company stated that it has added staked Solana (SOL) to the portfolios of its two exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
On April 21, ARK announced that its two funds—ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW) and ARK Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF)—now hold shares of 3iQ's Solana Staked ETF (SOLQ), a Canadian ETF that holds staked SOL.
According to ARK's official website, these two ARK funds aim to provide broad exposure to emerging technologies, with portfolios that include a mix of tech stocks and spot cryptocurrencies, including crypto-related companies such as Coinbase, Block, and Robinhood.
ARK stated that the addition of SOL ETF shares makes "ARKW and ARKF the first U.S.-listed ETFs to gain exposure to Solana."
In March, asset management company Volatility Shares launched two ETFs that gain exposure to SOL through financial derivatives, but a spot Solana ETF is still awaiting approval from U.S. regulators.
Experts noted that Solana futures recently listed on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), indicating that the listing of a U.S. SOL ETF is imminent.
Last week, after the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), Canada's largest securities regulator, approved several related funds, 3iQ launched its Solana ETF in Canada.
According to DeFiLlama, Solana is the second-largest blockchain network after Ethereum, with a total locked value exceeding $7 billion, while the Ethereum network is around $45 billion.
In July 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the trading of a spot Ethereum ETF in the U.S.
According to ARK's official website, in July of last year, ARK partnered with cryptocurrency fund issuer 21Shares to launch the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB), a spot Bitcoin (BTC) fund, which had net assets nearing $4 billion as of April 21.
ARK also collaborated with 21Shares to develop an Ethereum ETF but terminated the partnership in June before the fund was launched under the 21Shares brand.
