VanEck launches digital assets equity ETF
Europe has its first themed ETF, and it’s all about DeFi. Aptly named DAPP, Van Eck’s new ETF launched on the London Stock Exchange and Deutsche Boerse. DAPP follows “ MVIS Global Digital Assets Equity index”, a recently launched index which currently includes 26 pure-play digital asset companies. This includes miners, trading platforms, hardware manufacturers, holding and trading specialists, payments, patents/ services solutions, and even bankers. While no obvious actual DeFi protocols are currently part of the ETF, the infrastructure and companies included pave the way for protocol tokens to be included. Further, Van Eck also filed for an Ethereum ETF this week.

Being published on github furthers the new nativeness of reporting in crypto (it’s happening on open source platforms!). This is Yearn’s second report of this nature. Yearn is a popular DeFi asset that interoperates with many other popular DeFi products to provide yield aggregation for users and protocols alike.
