VanEck’s VAVX ETF lists on Nasdaq, offering AVAX exposure and staking rewards
VanEck’s spot Avalanche ETF (VAVX) began trading on Nasdaq, presenting investors with price exposure to AVAX and potential staking rewards [1][2].
VanEck’s Avalanche spot ETF, ticker VAVX, began trading on Nasdaq Monday, marking the first U.S.-listed spot AVAX exchange-traded product, according to coverage of the launch [1][2][4].
VanEck says the fund will hold AVAX and stake a portion of its holdings, with staking rewards to be distributed to shareholders after fees are deducted, positioning the product to provide both price exposure and potential staking income [1][2][3].
Market reaction was modest: AVAX rose more than 1% after the listing announcement, and was reported trading around $11.74 at the time of coverage [1][4].
Observers noted the launch expands the set of regulated single-asset crypto ETFs in the U.S., extending offerings beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum [2].
The VAVX listing brings a regulated, spot-based vehicle for AVAX exposure to U.S. markets while explicitly incorporating a mechanism for staking rewards distribution, per VanEck and reporting on the debut [1][2].
