One of our subscriptions is to the VanEck Digital Assets. It is interesting to read how the suits (aka Wall Street) see things. Definitely a breath of fresh from the hopium and despair of the crypto bros. Even if we don’t always understand the lingo and jargon.
Onchain Economy ETF (NODE)
Now this is a bit different from the normal DOGE, XRP and SOL ETF speculation driven hype.
This ETF has actually launched (May 13 2025), and only just hearing about it.
With out too much media attention. Maybe because this ETF does not contain overvalued tokens or memecoins. And is of more interest to the sophisticated and institutional investors, who may not follow publish0x and the general crypto media.
NODE holds crypto-native firms—including miners, exchanges, and holding companies—as well as energy providers, blockchain-integrated platforms, and data infrastructure.
NODE Portfolio Categories
The “Picks and Shovels”.
- Crypto ETPs
- Mining
- Exchanges
- Asset Managers
- Corporate Bitcoin Holders (companies with large bitcoin (BTC) holdings)
- Data Centers
- Energy Infrastructure
- Traditional finance (TradFi) Enablers
- Semiconductors/Hardware
- Consumer/Gaming
There are a total of 63 holdings listed as 05/13/2025. Some never heard of and some thats all one hears about.
No record breaking ETF inflows to date. But it has only been a couple of days.
“What role could NODE play in a portfolio?
NODE may fit within the following allocation sleeves:
- Thematic Growth: For investors seeking exposure to disruptive trends
- Alternative Equity: As a differentiated equity sleeve with potential crypto correlation
- Core-Satellite: As a satellite position complementing core index exposure
Because it spans multiple categories with distinct risk/return profiles, NODE can act as a flexible tool for expressing a long-term view of blockchain’s impact on the global economy.”
excerpt from VanEck Onchain Economy ETF (Ticker:NODE)
Don’t ya just ❤️ Wall Street Speak. Can some one translate into Crypto Speak or even make it into a meme for the plebs on Pb0x.
Disclaimer: First day of my work swing but not really doing much work. So been able to work on this post, sitting in the van, listening to music, enjoying the aircon…..
Update: To those who have been following the DCAing Out 2025 series, yesterday morning finished selling the last of the altcoins and BTC. Made the most of the recent little pump.

Solana (SOL)
As Solana made up 20% of the Grandsons portfolio, getting free SOL is of great interest.
This is more of a community notice for the like minded SOL collectors. As it is run by the devs, there is no referral program.
Been using solfaucet regularly for over a couple years. Earn 0.00001 SOL per day, regardless of SOL value at the time. The SOL is instantly paid to your Solana address. Note the earnings get paid out monthly but show up in your wallet as individual transactions.
There is a catch. All new addresses must maintain the minimum rent-exempt balance of 0.00089088 SOL to be able to claim from the faucet.
The faucet is supported in part by the Shinobi Systems validator.
