- Institutional-Grade Model: Built on 3iQ’s QMAP platform, offering secure, risk-managed access to the digital asset class.

3iQ Corp, a global leader in digital asset investment solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Further, a UAE-based provider of institutional investment solutions, to launch a multi-strategy hedge fund focused on digital assets. The fund is designed specifically for institutional and high-net-worth investors, offering a secure and transparent entry into the evolving digital asset economy.
Institutional Collaboration to Drive Digital Investment Innovation
The partnership unites 3iQ’s advanced infrastructure and deep institutional expertise in digital asset management with Further’s regional knowledge and strong investor relationships across the MENA region.
This collaboration represents an important milestone in bringing institutional-grade innovation to the digital asset space, under a government-supported and compliant framework that strengthens confidence among regional and global investors.
Overcoming Institutional Investment Challenges
For years, institutions and sophisticated investors have faced multiple barriers to digital asset allocation—from custody and operational complexity to high volatility and limited regulatory clarity.
Through this partnership, 3iQ and Further aim to overcome these challenges by providing a secure, transparent, and risk-managed investment structure, designed to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns while ensuring the highest standards of governance and compliance.
QMAP: The Foundation of Institutional Digital Asset Investing
This initiative builds upon 3iQ’s pioneering track record in developing institutional investment products for the digital asset class.
The company previously launched QMAP, the world’s first managed-account platform for digital assets, offering hedge funds and professional investors institutional-grade infrastructure and robust operational frameworks.
The QMAP platform demonstrates how carefully managed and risk-aware strategies can provide investors with secure and efficient exposure to digital assets—establishing the foundation upon which this next-generation partnership with Further is built.

Faisal Al Hammadi, Managing Partner at Further, said:
“This partnership with 3iQ reflects our firm belief that digital assets have become a permanent component of institutional investment portfolios.
By combining our regional expertise and deep investor relationships with 3iQ’s established infrastructure and investment experience, we are creating an innovative solution that lowers barriers to entry while upholding the highest standards of governance, transparency, and security.
Our goal is clear: to enable institutional investors to confidently participate in the digital asset economy through an environment that supports large-scale growth and enhances resilience.”
Statements from 3iQ
Pascal St-Jean, President and CEO of 3iQ Corp, commented:
“Institutions are seeking ways to engage with digital asset markets that ensure the highest levels of security and governance.
In collaboration with Further, we are developing an investment solution that is government-backed and carefully managed for risk, enabling institutions and investors to allocate to digital assets safely and efficiently while benefiting from professional oversight and exceptional return opportunities.”
3iQ’s Leadership in Regulated Digital Asset Investment
Founded in Canada, 3iQ Corp is recognized as one of the world’s first regulated digital asset investment firms, responsible for introducing Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-listed funds in Canada. The company continues to bridge traditional finance and blockchain innovation by providing compliant, transparent, and institutionally structured investment products.
Through this partnership with Further, 3iQ aims to extend its institutional offering into the MENA region, reinforcing its mission to make digital assets accessible within trusted and regulated frameworks.
