DAPP: An ETF That Needs To Evolve
The VanEck Digital Transformation ETF has significantly underperformed both Bitcoin and the S&P 500 since its inception in 2021. DAPP's inflexible passive strategy and material exposure to crypto miners limit its appeal versus actively managed competitors like BLOK that are better able to evolve with an immature industry. The fund's Index lacks any qualitative screening, and improvements in portfolio construction are urgently needed.

DAPP: Bitcoin Wobbles Under $100,000, Key Crypto Miner Earnings On Tap
Bitcoin has been rangebound between $90,000-$109,000, affecting crypto-related stocks, while gold has outperformed year-to-date. I maintain a hold rating on the VanEck Digital Transformation ETF due to mixed valuation and technical trends, despite its substantial growth. DAPP's portfolio has diversified with increased large-cap exposure and a high long-term EPS growth rate, but its elevated P/E ratio poses risks.
