VanEck Crypto and Blockchain Innovators UCITS ETF

The VanEck Crypto and Blockchain Innovators UCITS ETF is an equity exchange-traded fund designed to provide exposure to companies leading the development and application of blockchain technologies and digital assets. Its primary objective is to mirror the performance of the MVIS Global Digital Assets Equity Index, which selects and weights firms actively engaged in the blockchain sector, including businesses operating digital asset exchanges, blockchain infrastructure, financial services, and related technology solutions. The ETF employs full physical replication to hold a diversified portfolio of approximately 22 stocks, primarily focused on North America but also featuring companies from Australia and Asia. Key holdings typically include prominent names like Coinbase Global Inc, Block, Inc, MicroStrategy, Terawulf, and Hut 8, reflecting strong sector representation in both technology and financial segments. The fund is passively managed, aiming for efficient index tracking with a moderate expense ratio of 0.65% per annum. Instead of distributing dividends, it accumulates and reinvests any income, further compounding its growth objective. By focusing on blockchain and digital asset innovators, the fund serves as a thematic vehicle for investors seeking managed exposure to this emerging and rapidly evolving segment of the global equity market.
