Galaxy and Bloomberg set the stage for this fund’s launch with their creation of a Solana index one month ago. Indeed, the new fund seeks to track the performance of that index, the companies said.
Investors must pitch a minimum of $25,000, according to Galaxy’s website. It said Coinbase will custody the coins.
