/CNW/ — 3iQ Digital Asset Management (3iQ) together with Coinbase and Tetra Trust Company (“Tetra Trust” or “Tetra”) are pleased to announce they have finalized the custodian transition for 3iQ’s exchange-traded products (ETPs). In September,

the industry leaders had announced their joining of forces

to advance the digital asset ETP space in

Canada

.

All 3iQ ETP digital assets are held in segregated custody accounts, in cold storage by Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC, with oversight by Tetra Trust. The 3iQ ETP offerings will retain their normal course of business and fund operations with the completion of this transition.

This strategic collaboration further strengthens and aligns 3iQ as an investment fiduciary with the strong focus on regulatory compliance and prudent risk management that Coinbase and Tetra provide as industry-leading custodians.
