Catenaa, Friday, April 25, 2025-VanEck is set to launch its new crypto-related exchange-traded fund (ETF), aimed at offering investors broad exposure to the digital asset economy.
The ETF, named NODE, is scheduled for launch on May 14, 2025, and will hold between 30 to 60 equities tied to crypto exchanges, Bitcoin miners, data centers, and other sectors connected to the cryptocurrency industry.
Matthew Sigel, VanEck’s Head of Digital Assets Research, confirmed that the ETF will actively manage its portfolio, selecting stocks from a universe of more than 130 companies involved in digital assets.
This marks the latest effort by VanEck to tap into the growing crypto space after its successful launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs.
“NODE offers active equity exposure to the real businesses building the digital future,” Sigel said in a recent post on X (formerly Twitter). The fund’s investment strategy focuses on “Digital Transformation Companies” and digital asset instruments, including futures contracts, swaps, and exchange-traded commodity linked instruments. At least 80% of its net assets will be allocated to these types of investments.
The launch of NODE will give investors an alternative to directly purchasing cryptocurrencies or stocks of individual crypto companies. It follows the growing popularity of Bitcoin-focused ETFs and is in line with industry interest in expanding digital asset-related ETF offerings, such as those tracking Ethereum, Solana, and XRP.
VanEck’s previous ventures into crypto investment include its spot Bitcoin ETF, HODL, which currently manages $1.2 billion in assets.
