Investing.com -- ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW) and ARK Fintech Innovation ETF (NYSE: ARKF ) have added Solana to their portfolio through an investment in 3iQ’s Solana Staking ETF (SOLQ). This marks an important event as ARKW and ARKF become the first U.S.-listed ETFs to include Solana, a public blockchain created for decentralized applications.
The architecture of Solana, which is optimized for speed, efficiency, and scalability, makes it a fundamental infrastructure for the future of the internet. Its cost-effective and high-throughput capabilities provide significant benefits for developers and users looking for more efficient and accessible blockchain-based services.
This investment strengthens the position of ARKW and ARKF as leading ETFs for digital assets exposure. Along with Solana, ARKW and ARKF also give exposure to bitcoin through ARKB—The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF—and to ether with staking via 3iQ’s Ether Staking ETF. Together with key holdings in firms such as Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN ), Block, and Robinhood (NASDAQ: HOOD ) that are developing crucial infrastructure for crypto and Web3, ARKW and ARKF offer investors a diverse and extensive way to tap into the long-term potential of blockchain technology and digital finance.
The belief is that public blockchains will continue to unlock new capabilities in value transfer, data ownership, and decentralized governance. As this technological shift speeds up, ARKW and ARKF remain dedicated to identifying and investing in the companies and protocols that are leading innovation in the digital economy.
