Virtune Launches VIRBNB: A Regulated Way to Gain Exposure to BNB
On January 26, 2026, Swedish regulated asset manager Virtune launched VIRBNB, a physically-backed exchange-traded product (ETP) on Nasdaq Stockholm. Traded in Swedish Krona (SEK), VIRBNB offers 1:1 exposure to $BNB, the native coin of BNB Chain. The product holds actual BNB in cold storage with Coinbase as custodian and carries a 1.95% annual management fee, allowing traditional investors to access BNB through a regulated stock exchange without directly managing crypto wallets or private keys.
This development reflects growing institutional interest in bridging traditional finance and cryptocurrency. $BNB powers the BNB Chain ecosystem, supporting smart contracts, transaction fees, governance, and a wide range of decentralized applications. By listing a physically-backed ETP like VIRBNB, projects like Virtune make it easier for European investors to include $BNB exposure in conventional portfolios.
A practical takeaway: ETPs such as VIRBNB demonstrate how regulated financial products can provide transparent, verifiable exposure to major cryptocurrencies like $BNB while complying with traditional market standards.
