Summary

- Virtune holds the underlying crypto-asset with a custodian as collateral.
- The broker offers the purchase route; management fees and trading costs are separate.
How to buy BNB exposure
You can hold BNB price exposure at a broker through Virtune BNB ETP. It is listed in Stockholm and on Xetra. The security follows BNB itself; it is not a share in a crypto exchange or an account for using a trading platform.
BNB is a crypto-asset in the BNB Chain ecosystem. It originated as a token on Ethereum, and network validators are selected through BNB staking rankings. What BNB is explains its network role.
Why buy BNB through an ETP?
The product gives you a way to follow BNB's price from an ordinary brokerage account. You do not have to configure a wallet, use a BNB Chain application or manage the keys for a personal token holding.
Virtune handles the custody of the BNB backing the ETP. You hold the security, which can be bought and sold through brokers offering its listing. It is not a staked product and does not give you a personal validator position.
Virtune holds BNB with a custodian as collateral for the ETP. The crypto-asset backs the security you own; it is not a personal coin balance in your name.
Buying through a broker
At your broker, the product can be found by its full name or the ISIN shown below. The broker's order page identifies the listing, trading currency, current buy and sell prices and applicable charges. If the broker offers several listings, they still refer to the same security where the ISIN is the same.
Nasdaq Stockholm uses VIRBNB and Xetra VBNB. Both listings have ISIN SE0027598202.
The BNB ETP product page brings together available brokers, product documents and current details. Account availability and tax treatment depend on your country and account type; the exchange listing alone does not establish either.
Costs of buying and holding the ETP
The management fee is deducted from the product's value over time. It is different from the costs of trading: the broker may charge commission, the buy and sell prices have a spread, and a currency conversion charge can apply when the trade uses a different currency from your cash account. The table below separates these costs.
Costs when buying Virtune BNB ETP
| Cost | Charged by | When |
|---|---|---|
| Brokerage commission | Broker | On every purchase and sale |
| Difference between bid and ask price | Market | On every trade |
| Management fee, 1.95% per year | Issuer | Ongoing, from the product's value |
| Currency conversion | Broker, if applicable | If the product trades in another currency |
Risks to understand
Crypto-asset prices can move sharply, so the value of the ETP can fall. Crypto markets continue trading when stock exchanges are closed; the next ETP quote can therefore differ substantially from the previous close.
The security also carries issuer and custody risks. If Virtune cannot meet its obligations, what investors recover depends on the crypto-assets held as collateral and the process for enforcing their rights. Problems with custody or delays in recovery can affect the outcome. These product risks are separate from the convenience of holding the investment at a broker.
The crypto ETP buying guide explains the purchase process and the difference between a security and a crypto-asset holding.
