VanEck’s Onchain Economy ETF (NODE) has secured SEC approval and is set to launch on May 14, offering investors targeted exposure to the digital asset ecosystem without holding direct cryptocurrencies.NODE is an actively managed fund that will invest in 30 to 60 companies tied to blockchain and crypto infrastructure, including exchanges, miners, payment firms, hardware manufacturers, and asset managers. The fund aims for at least 80% exposure to “Digital Transformation Companies” that generate revenue from crypto or blockchain activities, encompassing foreign and emerging market stocks.The ETF may allocate up to 25% of its assets to crypto-linked exchange-traded products but will not directly hold cryptocurrencies. Using an offshore subsidiary in the Cayman Islands, NODE will gain indirect exposure to selective digital asset instruments such as commodity futures and swaps, all while excluding stablecoins.VanEck’s approach targets the shift of traditional financial and industrial operations toward blockchain-enabled models. The fund will charge a management fee of 0.69%.This launch builds on existing crypto equity products but extends its investment scope and adopts a broader branding strategy. By focusing on companies materially involved in blockchain or digital assets, NODE presents a novel way to participate in the on-chain economy through regulated public market instruments.As investors look for diversified exposure to the evolving crypto infrastructure, NODE stands out as a curated collection of firms powering the digital asset revolution, without the volatility of direct cryptocurrency holdings.
