VanEck has listed an exchange-traded note (ETN) in Europe tracking the performance of the Pyth Network’s native token, PYTH, the asset manager said on Nov. 5. 
The VanEck Pyth ETN will trade on Euronext Amsterdam and Euronext Paris, the asset manager <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://www.vaneck.com/globalassets/home/media/managedassets/etf-europe/news-and-media/press-room/en_vaneck_pm_vpyt-etn_2024-11-05.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" text="null" title="https://www.vaneck.com/globalassets/home/media/managedassets/etf-europe/news-and-media/press-room/en_vaneck_pm_vpyt-etn_2024-11-05.pdf">said</a>. It will be available to investors in 15 European countries, including Germany, France, Norway and Switzerland. 
The Pyth Network is a decentralized oracle protocol designed to enable smart contracts to interact with offchain data and communicate with other blockchain networks. 
PYTH is the Pyth Network’s governance token. It has a fully diluted market capitalization of approximately $3.4 billion, <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pyth-network/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" text="null" title="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pyth-network/">according</a> to CoinMarketCap.
“Smart contracts based on blockchain technology are gaining increasing significance in the financial world due to their numerous applications, and oracle networks play a crucial role in enabling real-world use for smart contracts,” Martijn Rozemuller, VanEck Europe’s CEO, said in a statement.
The Pyth Network “has the potential to become a crucial part of [decentralized finance] application infrastructure,” Rozemuller added.
