VanEck Avalanche ETF (VAVX) is a spot AVAX exchange-traded fund from VanEck, trading on US markets under the ticker VAVX. Each share currently trades at $15.60, down 1.64% over the past 24 hours. Across its all-time range, VAVX has moved between $12.54 and $25.00.
As a spot ETF, VAVX's share price closely follows the market value of the AVAX the fund holds, minus its annual management fee. The chart above shows VAVX price history at 5-minute resolution, so you can see intraday moves alongside longer-term performance (+1.36% over 7 days, +18.00% over 30 days). Each share represents a fractional claim on the fund's AVAX holdings, and authorised participants create or redeem shares to keep the market price aligned with the fund's net asset value (NAV).
Buying VAVX is different from buying AVAX on a crypto exchange. With the ETF you never hold the underlying coins yourself — the fund's custodian does — so there are no wallets, seed phrases or withdrawal risks to manage. In exchange, you pay the fund's management fee and can only trade during US market hours. Holding AVAX directly gives you 24/7 trading and full self-custody, but shifts all the security and storage responsibility onto you. Many investors choose VAVX specifically because it fits inside a normal brokerage or tax-advantaged account.
VAVX is a spot ETF, meaning it holds AVAX directly rather than tracking AVAX futures contracts. A futures-based ETF gets its exposure from derivative contracts that must be rolled over as they expire, which can create tracking error and extra costs over time. Because VAVX holds the underlying AVAX, its share price tends to follow the spot market more closely, without the roll costs that can weigh on futures-based products.
VAVX trades on a US stock exchange during regular market hours, while AVAX itself trades around the clock. When AVAX moves significantly overnight or over a weekend, VAVX can open at a noticeably different price than it closed at — a "gap." This is normal for any crypto ETF and is one reason the 5-minute chart and the all-time range above are useful for understanding how VAVX actually behaves day to day.

VAVX tracks the market value of the AVAX held by the fund, minus management fees, so its share price moves closely with AVAX. The key difference is timing: AVAX trades 24/7, but VAVX only trades during US stock-exchange hours, so its price can gap at the open to catch up with moves that happened overnight or over the weekend.

Yes. VAVX is a spot AVAX ETF — its value tracks the price of AVAX held by the fund, rather than futures contracts, which avoids the roll costs that can drag on futures-based products.
Like all ETFs, VAVX charges an annual management fee (expense ratio) that is deducted gradually from fund assets rather than billed separately. For the exact current rate, check VanEck's official fund page.
Because VAVX is a regular exchange-listed security, it can typically be bought and held in the same brokerage and tax-advantaged accounts (such as US IRAs) that support other ETFs — something that is harder to do when holding AVAX directly.
VAVX is issued by VanEck.
