Fund manager VanEck has the greenlight from the Securities and Exchange Commission to launch a new crypto ETF tracking crypto-related stocks.

The **Onchain Economy ETF (NODE)** seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in at least 80% of its net assets in "Digital Transformation Companies and/or Digital Asset Instruments," like those that run exchanges and engage in crypto mining, according to the [SEC filing](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/768847/000076884725000051/ck0000768847-20250416.htm#ic725ad7b637446fa95f1dcd544258313_7). The management fee will be 0.69%.

Matthew Sigel, head of digital assets research at VanEck, [said on X](https://x.com/matthew_sigel/status/1912585992822804505) that the actively managed NODE will aim to hold 30 to 60 names from a universe of more than 130 stocks tied to the digital asset economy. The stocks will include exchanges, miners, data centers, energy infrastructure, semiconductors, hardware, TradFi rails, consumer/gaming, asset managers and “balance sheet HOLDers,” Sigel said. He added that up to 25% of the fund will be in crypto exchange-traded products.

The target launch date is May 14.

## VanEck Continues Foray Into Crypto ETF Space

VanEck is no stranger to the world of digital assets. NODE’s approval comes less than a month after the firm’s VanEck Ventures announced its investment in [Manifest](https://www.etf.com/sections/news/vaneck-invests-defi-real-estate-platform-manifest), a platform bringing American real estate into decentralized finance (DeFi). VanEck Ventures was [introduced](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/10/09/2960588/0/en/VanEck-Launches-30M-Fund-to-Support-Innovation-in-Fintech-Crypto-and-AI.html) last year to support innovation in crypto, fintech and artificial intelligence (AI).

The fund manager’s digital assets offerings include its spot bitcoin fund, the [**VanEck Bitcoin ETF (HODL)**](https://www.etf.com/HODL), spot ether fund, the [**VanEck Ethereum ETF (ETHV)**](https://www.etf.com/ETHV), and the [**VanEck Digital Transformation ETF (DAPP)**](https://www.etf.com/DAPP), which tracks a market-cap-weighted index of companies involved in the digitalization of the world's economy through a diverse range of digital assets.

“The global economy is shifting to a digital foundation,” Sigel said via X. “NODE offers active equity exposure to the real businesses building that future.”
