The product offers 0% management fees, 0.25% staking yield and is 100% backed by on-chain BNB holdings, providing investors with regulated exposure to the BNB Chain ecosystem through their existing brokerage accounts.

BNB is the native token of BNB Chain formerly the Binance Smart Chain, one of the world's largest blockchain ecosystems by transaction volume and total value locked. The network powers thousands of decentralized applications across DeFi, gaming, and real-world asset tokenization, with over $171 billion in TVL and more than 302 million daily transactions. BNB's staking mechanism enables token holders to earn yield while contributing to network security, making it well-suited for a staking ETP structure.
