Financial asset management company VanEck launched its first spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) based on BNB, the cryptocurrency on the Binance exchange, on May 28, 2026.
The product began trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker VBNB. At the end of the trading day, you can know the trading volume.

The important point of the prospectus is VanEck There is still the possibility of incorporating staking in the future. This means that a portion of BNB’s reserves can be used to verify transactions within the network and generate additional rewards for the fund.
However, the document clarifies that the ETF does not currently engage in staking and that future implementation will depend on U.S. regulatory and legal issues.
Despite the debut of this financial product, BNB did not receive an immediate positive reaction in the market. At the time of publication of this article, BNB is trading at $633, marking a daily decline of 3.44%.
