19+ min ago (273+ words) VanEck just moved its spot BNB ETF a step closer to U.S. approval, filing an updated S-1 amendment with the SEC. Active dialogue could suggest approvals are beginning to take shape. If the SEC signs off, VBNB would become the first-ever U.S. spot BNB ETF, listed on Nasdaq and opening institutional access to the fifth-largest crypto asset. The filing confirms the ETF will trade under the ticker VBNB and hold physical BNB, tracking the MarketVector BNB Index. VanEck also reiterates that no staking is enabled yet, but the filing leaves the door open.
