VanEck is introducing an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) focused on digital asset stocks, officially entering the market after gaining approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This move comes amid concerns about exchange rate fluctuations, which could significantly influence crypto investments.
Navigating Exchange Rate Fluctuations with NODE
The VanEck Onchain Economy ETF (NODE) is set to include 30-60 stocks, according to Matthew Sigel, VanEck’s head of digital asset research. The fund carries a management fee of 0.69%. NODE’s portfolio spans across a range of industries including crypto exchanges, miners, data centers, energy infrastructure, semiconductors, hardware, traditional finance rails, consumer gaming, asset managers, and companies known as “balance sheet HOLDERS.” Up to 25% of NODE’s allocation will be in crypto exchange-traded-products (ETPs).
Sigel emphasized, “The global economy is shifting to a digital foundation. NODE offers active equity exposure to the real businesses building that future.” Such exposure could help investors potentially manage the risks brought on by exchange rate fluctuations.
Scheduled to begin trading on May 14th, the fund employs an offshore subsidiary in the Cayman Islands. This setup allows for indirect investment in assets such as commodity futures, swaps, and investment vehicles while adhering to U.S. federal tax regulations.
With the number of crypto-related stocks on the rise and numerous companies poised to become public entities, the demand for exposure to these stocks is increasing. A survey of financial advisors at a March ETF conference revealed that crypto equity ETFs are at the forefront of advisors’ investment preferences.
