- VanEck plans to roll out the NODE ETF on May 14.
- The fund targets 30–60 digital asset-related companies, avoiding direct crypto exposure.
Global investment manager VanEck will debut a new cryptocurrency-linked exchange-traded fund (ETF) on May 14, 2025, after receiving regulatory clearance from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The ETF is listed under the NODE ticker. It will offer investors access to a broad range of stocks tied to the digital asset economy. Unlike spot crypto ETFs, NODE will not invest directly in cryptocurrencies.
Instead, it is designed to hold 30 to 60 publicly traded companies from a pool of over 130 that are actively engaged in the blockchain and crypto sectors. The fund’s management strategy will focus on equities connected to exchanges, mining operations, data centres, hardware providers, and financial firms with crypto holdings.
Furthermore, VanEck’s NODE ETF also widens its application to cover entities contributing to the digital asset environment. It includes makers of semiconductors, payments infrastructure, games and consumer platforms, as well as financial institutions embracing blockchain.
Up to 25% of the fund may also be allocated to crypto-related exchange-traded products (ETPs). Particularly, NODE is an actively managed fund with a management fee of 0.69%. It aims to offer diversified exposure while tracking the ongoing shift from traditional finance to blockchain-driven models.
The development is an expansion of VanEck’s previous efforts in crypto and an increased institutional appetite for digital assets. Moreover, with wider exposure to equities and a balanced investment approach, NODE could entice investors who seek indirect investment in the development of the crypto industry, not by holding sensitive digital assets themselves.
