VanEck has launched the VanEck Onchain Economy ETF (CBOE: NODE), an actively managed fund to provide investors with diversified exposure to companies at the forefront of the digital asset economy. The ETF targets businesses deeply involved in bitcoin mining, cryptocurrency exchanges, fintech platforms, infrastructure services, and other critical sectors shaping blockchain adoption.

Rather than investing directly in cryptocurrencies, NODE focuses on digital transformation companies and crypto-linked exchange-traded products (ETPs). This structure offers crypto market exposure while managing volatility through an active strategy that adjusts holdings based on bitcoin market sensitivity and broader cycle indicators.
VanEck’s Head of Digital Assets Research and Portfolio Manager for NODE, Matthew Sigel, emphasized that the fund is engineered for adaptability. “NODE offers diversification and liquidity by categorizing assets according to their bitcoin sensitivity, allowing us to fine-tune the portfolio and manage risk responsibly,” he explained. The goal is to ramp up exposure during favourable conditions and dial it back when caution is warranted.
At launch, NODE’s portfolio features a mix of crypto-native companies—miners and exchanges—alongside energy and infrastructure providers, fintech innovators, and blockchain-integrated e-commerce platforms. VanEck plans to continuously update the portfolio as new entrants emerge and company strategies evolve, ensuring relevance in the fast-moving on-chain economy.
This new offering complements VanEck’s broader ETF lineup, which includes the VanEck Digital Transformation ETF (Nasdaq: DAPP). While DAPP delivers passive exposure to digital asset companies, NODE introduces a more hands-on, flexible approach with the potential for lower volatility, appealing to investors seeking a steadier path through crypto market cycles.
Building on its momentum in the blockchain space, VanEck has also made a significant move into tokenized finance. The firm recently unveiled VBILL, a tokenized real-world asset (RWA) fund offering exposure to U.S. Treasury bills. Developed in partnership with leading tokenization platform Securitize, VBILL marks VanEck’s official entry into the growing market for tokenized traditional assets.
