An investment in the VanEck BNB ETF (“VBNB” or the “Trust”) is subject to significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The value of BNB is highly volatile, and you can lose your entire principal investment. VBNB is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and therefore is not subject to the same protections as mutual funds or ETFs registered under the 1940 Act.

WHILE EVERYONE BETS ON THE NEXT L1, VITALIK BET ON HIS OWN.
🇺🇸 In his latest essay on the Ethereum Foundation's future, Vitalik Buterin disclosed:
90% of his net worth is in ETH.
The remaining $40,000,000 is on-chain fiat. Allocated to open-source biotech and software.
The EF holds just 0.16% of all ETH.
Other foundations: 10-50%.
The most decentralized chain has the most committed founder.
That's the moat.

The team is actively working on optimizations to balance security and performance.
A forward-thinking move for long-term network security.
