3IQ'S SOLQ AND XRPQ ETFS RECORD LARGEST AUMS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CATEGORIES

3iQ Solana Staking ETF has surpassed $300-million in assets under management (AUM), while 3iQ XRP ETF has exceeded $150-million. Launched earlier this year, both ETFs (exchange-traded funds) quickly established themselves as the largest in their respective categories among Canadian peers, further cementing 3iQ Corp.'s leadership in regulated digital asset investment solutions.

3iQ Solana Staking debuted in April with strong momentum, including a lead investment from SkyBridge Capital and additional commitments from industry leaders, such as ARK Investment. ARK invested in 3iQ Solana Staking through the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF and the ARK Fintech Innovation ETF -- making those the first United States-listed ETFs to gain exposure to solana and its staking rewards. 3iQ Solana Staking's management fees remain waived until April, 2026.

3iQ XRP launched in June to global recognition. With a management fee of 0 per cent for its first six months, 3iQ XRP became one of the most competitively priced digital asset ETFs in the market. Ripple, the leader in enterprise blockchain and crypto solutions, stood out as an early investor in the fund.

Together, these commitments reinforced investor confidence in 3iQ Solana Staking and 3iQ XRP, and helped accelerate adoption across investors, including individuals, wealth advisers, institutions and family offices.

"The momentum behind SOLQ and XRPQ demonstrates that Canadian investors and global leaders in the digital asset space are embracing secure, transparent and regulated access to digital assets," said Pascal St-Jean, president and chief executive officer of 3iQ. "As the market leaders, these ETFs exemplify 3iQ's commitment to meeting investor demand while setting a benchmark for innovation in the global market."

Both ETFs have established distinct advantages that are difficult to replicate. 3iQ Solana Staking has become the dominant vehicle for investors seeking exposure to solana, combining liquidity, growth and staking rewards within a regulated ETF structure. 3iQ XRP has secured its position as the leading XRP-focused ETF, pairing institutional-grade cold storage with cost-efficient access to one of the world's most widely traded digital assets. By scaling quickly, each fund has established durable competitive moats that reinforce 3iQ's leadership in the digital asset ETF landscape.

Since its founding, 3iQ has been recognized for pioneering digital asset investment innovation. From launching the world's first exchange-listed bitcoin and ether funds, to being the first to incorporate staking rewards in ether strategies, to introducing market-leading ETFs for solana and XRP, 3iQ continues to set the pace for innovation with a blueprint now emulated globally.
