Investors may consider VAVX because it powers Avalanche, a high-performance blockchain designed for scalability, speed, and customization. Avalanche supports financial and institutional use cases through low transaction costs, fast finality, and the ability to create custom blockchains (subnets). VAVX is also used to secure the network through staking, allowing holders to earn rewards while supporting network operations. As adoption grows across decentralized finance (DeFi), enterprise applications, and tokenized assets, VAVX plays a central role in Avalanche's long-term ecosystem growth.

VanEck Avalanche ETF

About VAVX

The Trust's investment objective is to reflect the performance of the price of AVAX, and rewards from staking a portion of the Trust's AVAX, to the extent the Sponsor in its sole discretion determines that the Trust may do so without undue legal or regulatory risk, such as, without limitation, by jeopardizing the Trust's ability to qualify as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, less the expenses of the Trust's operations.

An investment in the VanEck Avalanche ETF (“VAVX,” or the “Trust”) is subject to significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The value of Avalanche (“AVAX”) is highly volatile, and you can lose your entire principal investment. VAVX is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and therefore is not subject to the same protections as mutual funds or ETFs registered under the 1940 Act.

Gross Staking Yield represents yield earned by the Fund from staking AVAX and is not a performance measure or yield earned by investors. Staking yields are not guaranteed, may change frequently, and may be zero. After applicable fees and expenses, staking-related activity may not result in a positive return.

“Staking” refers to delegating a portion of the Fund’s AVAX to third-party validators on the Avalanche network for potential additional AVAX. Staking yield is not a separate shareholder payment; any rewards or losses are reflected in the Fund’s NAV and performance. Gross yield is shown before taxes and fees, while net yield reflects them, and both are based on net assets per share. Staking yields are not guaranteed, may change frequently, and may be zero. After applicable fees and expenses, staking-related activity may not result in a positive return. Staking entails liquidity, operational, validator, counterparty, and slashing risks, among others. See disclosures below and the prospectus for more information.
