‍VanEck Files for Spot BNB ETF on Nasdaq VanEck Digital Assets has submitted a proposal to the SEC for a spot BNB ETF, aiming for listing on Nasdaq under the ticker VBNB.

‍Berachain Co-founder Addresses Nova Digital Refund Rights Berachain co-founder Smokey the Bera clarified reports regarding a $25 million refund right granted to Nova Digital (Brevan Howard subsidiary).
