VanEck’s New Avalanche ETF Filing Includes Staking Rewards for AVAX Investors
VanEck has updated its filing for an Avalanche ETF, VAVX, to include staking rewards, aiming to generate income for investors by staking up to 70% of its AVAX holdings.
The fund will use Coinbase Crypto Services as its initial staking provider and pay a 4% service fee, with rewards accruing to the fund and reflected in its net asset value.
If approved, the fund will trade on Nasdaq under the ticker VAVX, tracking AVAX’s price via a custom index, and will be custodied with regulated providers, including Anchorage Digital and Coinbase Custody.
Staking Rewards for AVAX Investors
The fund may stake up to 70% of its AVAX holdings to generate yield, with Coinbase Crypto Services listed as the initial staking provider.
Rewards, minus a 4% service fee from Coinbase, would accrue to the fund and be reflected in the ETF’s net asset value.
AVAX will be held with regulated custodians, including Anchorage Digital and Coinbase Custody, both of which store tokens offline in cold wallets.
No Leverage or Derivatives
The fund will not utilize leverage or derivatives, and it will track AVAX’s price through the MarketVector Avalanche Benchmark Rate, a custom index constructed from major exchanges.
If approved, the fund would trade under the ticker VAVX on Nasdaq.
