Since the 2017 cycle, a Bitcoin ETF was much awaited by the public as that would represent an investment vehicle ready to onboard institutional investors and more traditional retail investors. There's been multiple ETF application sent to the SEC for approval, all of which were rejected continuously over the years. VanEck was one of the main firms applying alongside SolidX. They withdrew multiple applications themselves as they anticipated rejection.

In late 2019, they ended up launching an ETF-like product that would not require the SEC's approval as it would only be offered to qualified institutional investors, such as hedge funds.

Exchange Traded Note

An ETN (Exchange Traded Note) differs from an ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) in terms of underlying mechanics. On the surface they both allow investors to track an underlying asset or basket of assets, they both trade on major exchanges and they both have lower fees than mutual funds.

The underlying difference is how they are structured. An ETF effectively holds the underlying asset in custody, whereas an ETN is an unsecured debt note, more like a bond. This means that the credit score of the institution issuing the ETN is a very important factor.

Marketing Bitcoin

On VanEck's official Bitcoin page, there are multiple ways Bitcoin is brought to light. The first of which is: "With money printed like never before, future proof your portfolio with “digital gold”.", this line is then followed by the infamous Plan B stock-to-flow ratios.

The most fascinating information shared is how only 3% invested in Bitcoin from a traditional/standard portfolio would help it outperform the benchmark index: the S&P500.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the success guarantee work?

If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
