Any rewards, minus a 4% service fee from Coinbase, would accrue to the fund and be reflected in the ETF’s net asset value.
Under the plan, AVAX will be held with regulated custodians, including Anchorage Digital and Coinbase Custody, both of which store tokens offline in cold wallets.
The fund will not utilize leverage or derivatives, and it will track AVAX’s price through the MarketVector Avalanche Benchmark Rate, a custom index constructed from major exchanges.
If approved, the fund would trade under the ticker VAVX on Nasdaq. Bitwise last month updated its spot Avalanche ETF filing with the SEC to also enable yield generation.
