VanEck has filed an S-1 with the SEC to launch a BNB ETF, marking a key step toward mainstream exposure for Binance Coin.
The ETF could boost BNB liquidity, strengthen Binance’s U.S. presence, and drive adoption across the BNB Chain ecosystem.
The move follows VanEck’s growing crypto ETF push, including recent filings for Avalanche and successful launches of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
The ETF race just got hotter. VanEck has officially filed an S-1 with the U.S. SEC to launch a Binance Coin (BNB) ETF – a move that could crack open new doors for BNB, Binance, and the broader crypto market.
This filing follows VanEck’s earlier registration of the fund in Delaware back in April, but the S-1 is where things get real. It kicks off the formal review process and puts BNB one step closer to being listed on major U.S. exchanges.
Here’s all the deets for you.
A Big Win for Binance? Liquidity, Legitimacy, and Reach

More liquidity means a more stable market for BNB. Less volatility. More adoption. And more credibility for Binance at a time when it needs it most.
