ABU DHABI, UAE and TORONTO, Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — 3iQ Corp. (“3iQ”), a global pioneer in digital asset investment solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Further, a leading institutional investment solutions provider, to launch a digital asset multi-strategy hedge fund designed for institutional and sophisticated investors.
This collaboration brings together 3iQ’s robust infrastructure and expertise in institutional-grade digital asset solutions and Further’s deep knowledge of the digital asset and blockchain ecosystems. The collaboration marks a significant step forward in delivering innovative solutions within a sovereign-backed institutional framework.
Institutions and sophisticated investors have long faced challenges when allocating to digital assets, from custody concerns and operational complexity to volatility. This partnership aims to overcome these barriers by delivering a technically secure, transparent, and risk-managed approach to digital asset exposure, while targeting compelling risk-adjusted returns.
The initiative builds on 3iQ’s pioneering track record as a digital asset innovator. 3iQ launched the world’s first Digital Assets Managed Account Platform (QMAP), a hedge fund investment solution with robust institutional infrastructure. QMAP demonstrates how risk-managed strategies can provide secure exposure to digital assets, helping inform this next-generation partnership with Further.
Faisal Al Hammadi, Managing Partner at Further, said, “This partnership with 3iQ reflects our conviction that digital assets are becoming a permanent allocation in institutional portfolios. By combining our regional expertise and investor relationships with 3iQ’s proven infrastructure and investment acumen, we are creating an innovative solution that lowers barriers to entry while upholding the highest standards of governance, transparency, and security. Our objective is clear: to empower institutional investors to participate in the digital asset economy with confidence, scale, and resilience.”
Pascal St-Jean, President & CEO at 3iQ, said, “Institutions are seeking ways to participate in digital asset markets without compromising on security or governance. Together with Further, we are creating a sovereign-backed, risk-managed solution that enables institutions and investors to allocate easily and securely in digital assets, while benefiting from rigorous professional oversight and the potential for market alpha.”
