It&#8217;s down\u00a027%\u00a0since the launch. But it jumped\u00a09%\u00a0on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The passive fund holds only solana and stakes nearly all of its SOL on-chain \u2014 pledging tokens to help validate transactions and secure the network in exchange for ongoing rewards, similar to interest, according to the firm&#8217;s website. Then, those rewards back into the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>Hougan said those products are aimed at the so-called next\u00a0buyer of crypto: Investors looking to buy small slices for their portfolios.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;They don&#8217;t necessarily have an opinion on ethereum versus solana or bitcoin versus another asset,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They just want to buy a broad swath of the crypto market and hold it for the long term.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fundstrat Global Advisors&#8217; Tom Lee also sees a profitable shift ahead.
