This fund<\/a> <\/strong>seeks to target companies and financial instruments linked to blockchain and crypto innovation.<\/p>\n

The ETF plans to allocate 80% of its assets to businesses and products tied to digital transformation. These include crypto exchanges, payment platforms, mining operations, and companies that hold or generate revenue from digital assets. Additionally, the fund will invest in products like commodity futures and other exchange-traded instruments designed to offer indirect exposure to cryptocurrencies. VanEck emphasized that the fund will not hold digital assets directly, instead focusing on associated sectors and instruments.<\/p>\n

This latest initiative builds on VanEck\u2019s history of exploring crypto-related ETFs. While some projects, such as its Ethereum<\/a> <\/strong>futures ETF, were discontinued due to underperformance, others, like its Solana ETF proposal, reflect the firm\u2019s continued focus on the crypto space. The new fund\u2019s design also mirrors similar efforts by competitors like Bitwise, which has launched ETFs targeting companies with substantial Bitcoin<\/a> <\/strong>holdings.<\/p>\n
