VanEck BNB ETF Amends Custody Agreement, Names Figment as Staking Validator

  • —8-K filed with the SEC on September 29, 2026, at 4:50 p.m. ET
  • —Figment named validator for the VBNB fund's BNB staking
  • —Validator fee set at 4% of staking assets
  • —Only Schedule A was amended; other BitGo terms unchanged
Why it matters: Disclosing the validator and its fee via an 8-K makes staking-ETF yield economics auditable for investors and sets a precedent for other issuers.
