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.
With over a dozen crypto exchange-traded products across Europe, VanEck offers products that cover assets like Solana and Chainlink. In the U.S., it has launched spot crypto ETFs for Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Meanwhile, the upcoming U.S. presidential election may impact the fate of several pending crypto ETF applications, including those seeking to list ETFs holding altcoins such as Solana, XRP, and Litecoin.
Uphold, a digital finance platform known for its crypto-friendly services, is taking new steps that could reshape how XRP holders earn passive income.
The PI token has suffered a steep decline, dropping to $0.61 after falling over 22% in just one week.
Two asset managers are preparing to introduce a new class of cryptocurrency investment products that combine traditional exchange-traded fund (ETF) structures with staking income from Ethereum and Solana holdings.
Institutional interest in Ethereum is clearly picking up—at least on paper. Spot Ethereum ETFs have seen nine straight days of net inflows, with BlackRock’s ETHA and Fidelity’s FETH leading the charge.
