VanEck, a sought-after American investment management company headquartered in New York City, recently announced the reduction of spot Bitcoin ETF fees, allowing users to invest in VanEck Bitcoin Trust for HODL until 31 March 2025. The period will commence on 12th March, and the Sponsor will be waiving the Sponsor Fees entirely for the initial $1.5 billion of the assets belonging to the Trust.
With assets exceeding $1.5 billion before March 31, 2025, the Sponsor Fees charged on the Trust’s assets will be 0.2% on the assets exceeding $1.5 billion. Every investor must pay the same fee calculated as the weighted average of the total rates. After 31 March 2025, the fees will be 0.2%.
However, this cut in the spot Bitcoin ETF fee is temporary as the assets are significantly below some of the competitors’ work. According to the asset manager, the fees will be reduced unless the total fund reaches a maximum of $1.5 billion before the said date. Currently, HODL manages more than $305 million in AUM or assets under management, while most other funds have crossed the $1 billion mark.
The weighted average sponsor fees will be determined based on the fund’s total assets. This bold initiative that VanEck has taken to eliminate sponsor fees aims to lure new investors to the platform as the value of Bitcoin crossed the key level of $72,000 for the first time.
VanEck is constantly working to make key strides to increase access to Bitcoin through its competitively priced and intelligently designed solutions. Investors on the VanEck platform can effectively gain exposure to the investment market and indulge in more profitable opportunities and new financial instruments.
