New York-based investment management firm VanEck is taking another shot at getting a bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) approved. The asset manager has filed an application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a new fund known as VanEck Bitcoin Trust.

VanEck, one of the major advocates for a Bitcoin ETF, has previously filed for the same product twice but withdrew the application on both occasions following a series of rejections by the securities regulator. Despite the setbacks, the asset manager maintained its commitment to an ETF.
If the application gets the green light, it would be the first ETF to get approval from the SEC.
The securities regulator, which has received numerous applications of the same nature, has rejected all the previous proposals. In August 2019, the agency rejected nine similar applications in a single day.
Jay Clayton, who recently left his post as the agency’s chairman, said the SEC was not closing the door on such products.
An ETF gives investors a chance to invest in bitcoin without owning the digital asset. However, the shares of the ETF are tied to the performance of Bitcoin, the underlying asset.
Gabor Gurbacs, the Director of Digital Assets at VanEck, pointed out that the firm is prioritizing bringing a physical bitcoin ETF to the U.S.
“We are committed to support bitcoin-focused innovation & continue to work with regulators & market participants to achieve that goal. VanEck has successfully launched a bitcoin ETP in Europe,” he added.

With over 2.4M tokens and widespread misinformation in crypto, we cut
through the noise and consistently find winning assets.
























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.
