VanEck Updates Avalanche ETF Plan to Add AVAX Staking and 0.30% Fee

VanEck has filed another amended registration for an Avalanche-linked exchange-traded fund in the United States, detailing a structure that would allow staking of a substantial share of its AVAX holdings. The proposed ETF, which aims to list on Nasdaq under the ticker VAVX, would combine spot exposure to AVAX with on-chain rewards managed by Coinbase Crypto Services and charge a 0.30% management fee. The multiple amendments highlight ongoing regulatory discussions and could set a precedent for staking-enabled ETFs tied to other proof-of-stake networks if approved.
