VanEck Avalanche ETF reports that it intends to make quarterly cash distributions to shareholders from income generated by staking its AVAX holdings. These distributions will reflect net staking income after paying its staking services provider and any AVAX custodian fees.
To fund the cash payouts, the Trust may sell staking rewards and, if needed, a portion of its AVAX, which could affect its AVAX exposure and the market price or net asset value of the Shares. The Trust aims to meet safe harbor conditions under IRS Revenue Procedure 2025-31 for grantor trusts that stake digital assets.
The Sponsor expects to declare distributions on a quarterly basis, with specific record and payment dates set later, and the initial distribution is expected in July 2026. The size and frequency of any distributions will depend on actual staking rewards, legal and regulatory requirements, and the Trust’s operational and liquidity needs, and there is no assurance that distributions will be made.
VanEck Avalanche ETF reports a volatile first quarter as assets grow but NAV per share falls. Net assets rose from $2,517,563 at December 31, 2025 to $11,136,708 at March 31, 2026 as 500,000 new shares were created, bringing total shares outstanding to 600,000.
Despite the growth in size, NAV per share declined from $25.18 to $18.56, a 26.29% drop closely tracking a 26.76% fall in AVAX’s price from $12.22 to $8.95. The Trust recorded net investment income of $50,743 from staking, but an unrealized loss of $943,240 on AVAX, leading to a net decrease in net assets from operations of $892,497.
The ETF invests almost entirely in AVAX, valued using Level 1 inputs, and earns additional rewards by staking a portion of its holdings. Reported total return was (26.29)% for the period, and expense ratios were low due to a temporary 0.20% sponsor fee waiver. Extensive risk disclosures highlight regulatory uncertainty around staking, digital asset regulation and the possibility that AVAX could be deemed a security, which could force liquidation of the Trust.
VanEck Avalanche ETF is a Delaware statutory trust designed to track AVAX’s price and staking rewards, less expenses. It holds AVAX with institutional custodians, calculates daily NAV off the MarketVector Avalanche Benchmark Rate, and lists its Shares on Nasdaq under the ticker VAVX.
The Trust launched with seed capital of 4,000 Shares at $25 and later a 100,000-Share seed creation basket, reaching NAV of $2,517,562 and 100,000 Shares outstanding at December 31, 2025. It charges a 0.20% unified Sponsor Fee, uses staking services to earn AVAX rewards, and creates/redeems only in 25,000-Share Baskets via Authorized Participants in cash or in-kind, under a grantor-trust, pass-through tax structure.
VanEck Avalanche ETF filed a prospectus supplement updating the Fund's index and data-source disclosures.

The Index launched on May 8, 2025 and rebalances at 16:00:00 ET on the last trading day of May and November.
