On May 14, 2025, VanEck introduced the Onchain Economy ETF (NODE), an actively managed exchange-traded fund that aims to provide investors with exposure to the digital economy. This ETF focuses on companies involved in the blockchain ecosystem, including crypto miners, exchanges, infrastructure providers, and crypto-oriented financial technology platforms. In addition to directly investing in stocks, NODE may also consider firms with plans to engage in the blockchain space or invest in crypto-related financial instruments without holding any cryptocurrencies directly. Matthew Sigel, head of digital asset research at VanEck, emphasized the ETF's flexible approach to investment, adjusting to new companies and market volatility to maintain responsible exposure to the digital economy. This move follows VanEck's prior launch of the Digital Transformation ETF (DAPP), indicating a growing trend in ETF offerings focused on cryptocurrency and blockchain-related companies, particularly in response to changing regulatory attitudes towards crypto by US authorities.
