Alternative Investments/Digital Assets: VanEck’s Digital Assets Mining ETF (DAM) Offers Exposure To Crypto Miners

Digital asset miners represent the largest—and a fast-growing—segment of the publicly traded digital asset ecosystem.
VanEck launched earlier this month the VanEck Digital Assets Mining ETF (NASDAQ: DAM). It offers targeted exposure to digital assets mining companies, which validate and process blockchain transactions to create new units of cryptocurrency. The new ETF expanded VanEck’s crypto and blockchain-focused investment offerings and providing investors access to companies essential to driving digital transformation. (BusinessWire)
Other ETFs by VanEck in the digital assets sector are the VanEck Digital Transformation ETF (NASDAQ: DAPP), which offers diversified exposure to companies at the forefront of the digital assets transformation, such as digital asset exchanges, miners, and other key infrastructure companies; and the VanEck Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BATS: XBTF), a bitcoin-linked ETF on the U.S. market, providing actively managed exposure to bitcoin futures.
