Vaneck Digital Assets filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Nov. 21, Amendment No. 2 to its Form S-1 for the proposed Vaneck BNB ETF, seeking to register shares tied to BNB’s price and move toward a planned Nasdaq listing under the ticker VBNB.

The filing states:

The Vaneck BNB ETF (the ‘Trust’) is an exchange-traded fund that issues common shares of beneficial interest that are expected to be approved for listing … on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC pursuant to the Exchange’s existing generic listing standards under the ticker symbol VBNB.

“The Trust’s investment objective is to reflect the performance of the price of BNB tokens, less the expenses of the Trust’s operations,” the company noted. The filing adds critical operational detail around valuation, explaining that shares would be priced using inputs from the Marketvector BNB Index. It sets out the role of Authorized Participants in handling basket transactions using either cash or in-kind BNB, giving institutional desks the flexibility to move inventory according to liquidity conditions. Vaneck Digital Assets LLC is the Sponsor of the Trust.

The ETF’s framework also underscores that it is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, does not use derivatives or leverage, and is outside Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) oversight. Early funding was provided on Nov. 14, 2025, through a 4,000-share seed purchase valued at $25,000 per share.

Regarding staking, the filing explains:

The Trust does not currently stake any of its BNB. In the future, to the extent the Sponsor in its sole discretion determines to stake all or a portion of the Trust’s BNB, the Sponsor will engage one or more third party staking services providers to conduct such staking activities.

Beyond this, the amendment emphasizes that shares are uninsured, speculative, and may expose investors to full loss of capital because of BNB’s volatility, custody risks, and market disruption threats. It also reiterates BNB’s use as the native asset powering transaction fees and smart contract execution on the BNB Chain. Supporters of crypto argue that regulated ETF structures can strengthen market transparency, broaden institutional appetite, and offer operational simplicity compared with direct digital asset handling.
