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. If regulators allow it in the future, staking rewards and additional income could flow through to ETF holders using third-party providers.
This S-1/A amends the original May 2 filing, meaning this isn’t a new proposal, but a meaningful regulatory step forward.
A U.S.-listed BNB ETF would be a milestone for the BNB Chain ecosystem, giving traditional brokerage and retirement accounts direct access to BNB for the first time.
It would also mark a huge institutional validation for the Binance-affiliated network, especially after years of regulatory pressure around the exchange.
This filing lands just as NYSE Arca approved DOGE and XRP spot ETFs, both begun trading Monday, with Chainlink also in line. Altcoin ETFs are clearly moving into the mainstream.
All eyes now turn to the SEC’s next move and whether VBNB becomes the ETF that finally brings BNB into the U.S. institutional spotlight.
As users on X pointed out: “This is TradFi admitting BNB is too big to ignore. ETFs turn “alt” into “asset class” fast.”
