CoinShares introduces BNB Staking ETP with zero fees

CoinShares, a European investment firm focused on digital assets, announced Wednesday the launch of a new exchange-traded product tied to $BNB that incorporates staking rewards and carries no management fees.

The fund, the CoinShares $BNB Staking ETP, trades under the ticker CBNB and is fully collateralized by on-chain $BNB holdings and offers investors a 0.25% annual staking yield. It will be available on the SIX Swiss Exchange, one of the largest stock exchanges in Europe.

$BNB functions as the utility token for $BNB Chain, a blockchain network that supports decentralized applications spanning finance, gaming, and asset tokenization.

The network recorded more than $171 billion in total value locked at the end of 2025 and now processes over 302 million transactions daily.

“Adding $BNB to our Physical ETP range reflects the continued maturation of digital asset markets and sustained investor demand for regulated access to major blockchain ecosystems,” said Jean-Marie Mognetti, CEO of CoinShares.

CoinShares manages more than $6 billion in assets and has an announced merger pending with Vine Hill Capital Investment Corp. It operates under regulatory oversight in Jersey, France, and the US.

Regulated ETPs that incorporate staking mechanisms have become increasingly popular across Europe, serving as an entry point for traditional investors seeking yield from proof-of-stake networks through conventional brokerage accounts.

In the US, the market is catching up as staking products transition from restricted structures toward mainstream regulation under the policy direction of Paul Atkins, supported by generic listing and innovation-oriented rules.

Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF became the first to distribute staking rewards to shareholders in January 2026.
