On May 14, 2025, VanEck officially launched its Onchain Economy ETF (NODE), receiving approval from the US Securities and Exchange Commission. This strategic move introduces a new avenue for investors to gain exposure to blockchain infrastructure companies. Managed by Matthew Sigel, NODE focuses on publicly traded equities of firms working on blockchain technology. 25% of assets are allocated through a Cayman Islands subsidiary, enabling indirect exposure to cryptocurrencies while complying with US tax regulations. Experts anticipate minimal direct impact on cryptocurrency prices but expect heightened interest in public companies connected to blockchain protocols.
