VanEck has just introduced an exchange-traded note (ETN) in Europe that follows the Pyth Network’s native token, PYTH, as announced on November 5.
This new VanEck Pyth ETN is available on both Euronext Amsterdam and Euronext Paris and can be accessed by investors in 15 European nations, such as Germany, France, Norway, and Switzerland.
Martijn Rozemuller, CEO of VanEck Europe, emphasized the importance of oracle networks like Pyth for enabling smart contract functionality in real-world applications. Rozemuller sees Pyth as potentially integral to the infrastructure of decentralized finance (DeFi).
The VanEck Pyth ETN aligns with the MarketVector Pyth Network VWAP Close Index, and is fully backed by physical PYTH tokens, securely held by Liechtenstein-based custodian Bank Frick.
