If the proposal gets a positive response, QSOL become the first SOL ETP in North America. It would offer investors exposure to SOL and staking yields which is estimated over 6.8%. This would also open doors for crypto enthusiasts to access long-term capital appreciation. 
Canaccord Genuity is the agent for the offering whereas Tetra Trust and Coinbase Custody Trust Company serve as custodians. One of the interesting facts about the SOL ETP was that Canadian investors can gain SOL exposure without requiring hot wallets or blockchain technology.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
There are changes that 3iQ will get approval on ETP as Canada previously approved spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs and Solana ETPs exceeded 1 Billion. Moreover, this also put the spot light on the spot Solana ETF. 
On May 22, Brian Kelly, CNBC Fast Money Trader forecasted that SOL ETF could get approval once the spot Ethereum ETF is approved. James Seyffart, Bloomberg ETF analyst, on the other hand, believes that SOL ETF would record more demand when approved.
