VANECK TO LAUNCH PRIVATE WEB3 FUND FOCUSED ON AVALANCHE

- VanEck, a veteran asset manager, announced plans to launch a private digital assets fund this June.

KEY DETAILS:

- The fund targets tokenized Web3 projects built on the Avalanche blockchain, aiming to capitalize on its growing ecosystem.

- The VanEck PurposeBuilt Fund will be available exclusively to accredited investors. It plans to invest in liquid tokens and venture-backed projects across sectors like gaming, financial services, payments, and artificial intelligence.

- VanEck will also deploy idle capital into Avalanche-native real-world asset (RWA) products, such as tokenized money market funds, maintaining liquidity while supporting onchain economic activity.

- This fund will be managed by the same team behind VanEck’s Digital Assets Alpha Fund (DAAF), which currently oversees over $100 million in assets.

- Since its 2022 launch, DAAF has focused on liquid tokens tied to scalable products with real adoption and economic alignment.

- The fund aims to provide strategic capital with long-term alignment, empowering founders focused on genuine adoption and sustainable growth.

- VanEck is among many asset managers seeking SEC approval for multiple crypto ETFs as U.S. regulators soften their stance.

- Avalanche’s ecosystem, now valued near $50 billion, is attracting builders who could shape blockchain’s future role in global finance.
