The asset management firm submitted a request to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for what it has named the “VanEck Avalanche ETF,” as revealed in a filing made on Friday.
The proposed ETF aims to mirror AVAX’s market performance while accounting for operational costs. Documents indicate that the trust has been registered in Delaware, marking what appears to be the first ETF of its kind focused on Avalanche’s native cryptocurrency.

Recently, the regulator has demonstrated a more accommodating stance toward digital assets. Over a short period, it has reversed controversial crypto accounting policies, backed away from enforcement actions against major industry participants, established a dedicated crypto task force, and issued a statement addressing memecoins.
