VanEck’s Matthew Sigel, head of digital assets research, joins Talk ETFs to discuss the newly launched VanEck Onchain Economy ETF (NODE). Unlike traditional crypto equity funds, NODE combines a wide range of companies tied to blockchain, including dividend-paying utilities and fintech names, with a 25% allocation to global crypto funds like VanEck's own Bitcoin ETF (HODL)

Sigel explains how this actively managed ETF aims to offer a smoother ride than pure-play crypto funds like the Digital Transformation ETF (DAPP), striking a balance between offense and defense in a volatile sector.

He also dives into how NODE fits into investment portfolios.
