📰 VanEck “Goes Degen” — What It Means
🏦 VanEck is renaming its Gaming ETF to the “Degen Economy ETF.”
📅 The change becomes official after trading closes on 08/04/2026.
🤯 It will be the first-ever ETF to use the slang “Degen” (short for degenerate speculator) in its name.
📊 The ETF will track the Degen Economy Index, focusing on companies that get 50%+ of their revenue from high-risk, digital-driven sectors like:
• 🪙 Crypto exchanges
• 📱 Digital brokerages
• 🎮 Online digital-lifestyle companies
🤔 What’s the big idea?
This move shows how crypto’s degen culture is being packaged into traditional finance — turning a once niche, high-risk trading style into something Wall Street can offer as a standard product.
💭 How it feels?
😲 Wild to see “degen culture” become mainstream
📦 Crypto-style speculation now wrapped in a regulated ETF
🌉 Shows the bridge between TradFi and crypto is getting smaller.
