What is the VanEck BNB ETF (VBNB)?

VanEck BNB ETF (VBNB) is a U.S.-registered exchange-traded product that holds physical BNB cryptocurrency in cold storage and provides U.S. investors with regulated, brokerage-accessible spot exposure to BNB — the native token of the BNB Chain ecosystem and the third-largest non-stablecoin cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Launched on May 28, 2026, VBNB is the first U.S.-listed spot BNB ETF. The Trust's investment objective is to reflect the performance of the price of BNB tokens and, potentially in the future at the Sponsor's discretion, rewards from staking a portion of the Trust's BNB, less the expenses of the Trust's operations. Shares trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the ticker VBNB and are sponsored by VanEck Digital Assets, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Van Eck Associates Corporation.

Is VBNB available to U.S. investors?

Yes. VanEck BNB ETF (VBNB) is registered in the United States under the Securities Act of 1933 (SEC File No. 333-286959) and listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. It is intended for U.S. investors and is marketed by Van Eck Securities Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Van Eck Associates Corporation, based at 666 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017. The Trust is sponsored by VanEck Digital Assets, LLC. Unlike VanEck's equity ETFs such as SMH, GDX, or MOAT, VBNB is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and is not subject to regulation under that Act. It is structured as a grantor trust — the same legal structure used by commodity-based trust shares such as spot Bitcoin ETFs — and is listed under Nasdaq Rule 5711(d), which permits listing and trading of Commodity-Based Trust Shares under Nasdaq's generic listing standards.

What is BNB and what is BNB Chain?

BNB is the native token of BNB Chain, a high-throughput public blockchain ecosystem originally developed by Binance. BNB serves multiple functions within the ecosystem: it is used to pay transaction fees on BNB Chain, to participate in staking as part of BNB Chain's proof-of-staked-authority consensus mechanism, and for on-chain governance voting. BNB has a capped supply of 200 million tokens and is subject to periodic token burns — a mechanism that destroys a portion of BNB in circulation to reduce total supply over time. BNB Chain is one of the most active blockchains globally, processing more than 14 million daily transactions, holding over $16 billion in stablecoins, and supporting approximately $3.6 billion in tokenized real-world assets as of the Trust's prospectus date. BNB is the third-largest non-stablecoin cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

How does VBNB differ from buying BNB directly on a cryptocurrency exchange?

VBNB provides exposure to BNB through a regulated, U.S. exchange-listed product accessible via any standard brokerage account, without requiring the investor to create a cryptocurrency exchange account, manage private keys, or arrange their own custody. Investors who hold VBNB shares do not directly own BNB - they own shares of beneficial interest in a grantor trust that holds BNB. This distinction has important tax, custody, and governance implications. Direct BNB holders can stake their tokens and earn staking rewards immediately; VBNB shareholders cannot, unless the Sponsor activates staking in the future. VBNB shares may be held in tax-advantaged accounts such as IRAs and 401(k)s where direct cryptocurrency ownership may not be available. However, holding VBNB rather than BNB directly means investors bear the Trust's 0.39% sponsor fee and cannot participate in BNB Chain governance or access DeFi protocols directly through their VBNB holdings.

The Trust's investment objective is to reflect the performance of the price of BNB, and rewards from staking a portion of the Trust's BNB, 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 BNB ETF (“VBNB,” or the “Trust”) is subject to significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The value of BNB is highly volatile, and you can lose your entire principal investment. VBNB 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.

"Staking" refers to delegating a portion of the Fund's BNB to third-party validators on BNB Chain for potential protocol rewards. Staking Yield represents yield earned by the Fund from staking BNB and is not a performance measure or yield earned by investors. Staking yields are not guaranteed, may change frequently, and may be zero or negative.

"Staking" refers to delegating a portion of the Fund's BNB to third-party validators on BNB Chain for potential protocol rewards. Protocol rewards refer to additional BNB earned by the Fund as a result of the staking process. Gross yield is shown before taxes and fees while net yield reflects them; both are based on net assets per share. Staking yield is not a separate shareholder payment. Any rewards or losses affect the Fund's NAV and performance. Staking entails liquidity, operational, validator, counterparty, and slashing risks, among others.
