In a significant move, VanEck is set to introduce the Onchain Economy ETF (NODE) on May 14, 2025. The fund, which offers active exposure to blockchain-oriented companies, will be managed by Matthew Sigel, VanEck’s Head of Digital Asset Research. VanEck’s new ETF aims to hold 30–60 stocks in sectors such as mining, data centers, and semiconductors. By not directly investing in cryptocurrencies, it provides an alternative way to engage with the digital asset space.
“The global economy is transitioning to a digital foundation. NODE provides active equity exposure to the genuine enterprises that are constructing that future.” – Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Asset Research, VanEck
The launch of NODE is expected to influence market dynamics by increasing demand for stock in blockchain-related companies. It highlights a growing institutional interest in the infrastructure that underpins cryptocurrencies. With a management fee of 0.69%, NODE allows for up to 25% allocation to crypto-linked ETPs through a Cayman Islands subsidiary, offering compliance with U.S. tax regulations.
Investors and analysts are watching NODE closely as it provides a compliant investment channel that aligns with the increasing digital transformation. Historical precedence shows that similar products have stimulated market interest, driving up trading volumes and share prices of companies within the crypto ecosystem. This new offering by VanEck highlights the broader trend of integrating blockchain technology within traditional investment frameworks. Matthew Sigel emphasizes that NODE will offer exposure to core enterprises shaping the future economy, which could lead to notable shifts in market participation and valuation. Analysts predict regulatory approvals and institutional capital could further boost engagement within the digital asset market.
