ARK's ETFs Add Solana, Strengthening Position in Digital Assets

ARK's ETFs Expand Into Solana

ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW) and ARK Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF) have made a strategic move by investing in 3iQ’s Solana Staking ETF (SOLQ), marking their entry into Solana. This makes ARKW and ARKF the first U.S.-listed ETFs to include Solana, a public blockchain known for its speed, efficiency, and scalability.

Solana's Strategic Importance

Solana's architecture is designed to be a cornerstone for the future of the internet, offering high-throughput and cost-effective solutions. This makes it a vital infrastructure for developers and users seeking advanced blockchain services. The integration of Solana into ARKW and ARKF underscores their commitment to innovation in digital assets.

Diversified Exposure for Investors

ARKW and ARKF now provide exposure to Solana alongside other key assets. They already offer access to Bitcoin through ARKB and ether via 3iQ’s Ether Staking ETF. Additionally, these ETFs hold stakes in major companies like Coinbase, Block, and Robinhood, which are pivotal in building crypto and Web3 infrastructure.

The Future of Blockchain

The belief that public blockchains will drive advancements in value transfer, data ownership, and decentralized governance is central to ARK's strategy. By investing in leading companies and protocols, ARKW and ARKF position themselves at the forefront of the digital economy, offering investors a comprehensive way to tap into blockchain technology's long-term potential.

This strategic move highlights ARK's dedication to identifying and investing in cutting-edge innovations, ensuring their ETFs remain leaders in the digital asset space.
