VanEck has filed for an Avalanche ($AVAX) ETF with the SEC, aiming to provide retail investors direct exposure to AVAX.
The ETF's valuation will be based on the Avalanche Benchmark Rate, calculated by MarketVector using prices from the top AVAX trading platforms.
AvaLabs CEO, Emin Gün Sirer, is positive about the development and believes it will offer a new and convenient way for investors to participate in the blockchain network.
This filing could indicate a broader acceptance of blockchain assets in traditional financial markets and potentially open doors for more altcoin ETFs.
