VanEck Seeks SEC Approval for Innovative BNB ETF with Staking Rewards

VanEck, a leading U.S. asset manager, has filed an S-1 application with the SEC for a groundbreaking BNB exchange-traded fund. This ETF would not only provide exposure to BNB’s price movements but also enable staking of the trust’s holdings—potentially generating additional tokens or rewards for investors.

The proposal highlights growing institutional interest in crypto assets beyond just Bitcoin and Ethereum. By combining capital appreciation potential with staking-derived passive income, VanEck’s product meets two critical investor needs in a single vehicle.

BNB’s inclusion in the ETF space underscores its evolution into a major multi-chain ecosystem asset. The staking feature could unlock new yield opportunities while maintaining liquidity through traditional market access points.
