Osprey Funds Launches the First Publicly-Quoted U.S. BNB Fund, Osprey BNB Chain Trust (OTCQX: OBNB)
Osprey Funds has launched the Osprey BNB Chain Trust (OBNB), the first publicly-quoted U.S. fund based on BNB token, now trading on the OTCQX® Best Market. The fund provides U.S. investors exposure to BNB, the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap (excluding stablecoins), through traditional brokerage and IRA accounts.
This launch is particularly significant as BNB, which powers the BNB Chain ecosystem and supports decentralized applications, DeFi protocols, and smart contracts, is not readily available on U.S. centralized exchanges. The trust, initially offered via private placement, now offers one of the few ways for U.S. investors to gain BNB exposure in USD.
Osprey Funds ha lanciato il Osprey BNB Chain Trust (OBNB), il primo fondo negli Stati Uniti quotato pubblicamente basato sul token BNB, ora in trading sul mercato OTCQX® Best Market. Il fondo offre agli investitori statunitensi l'esposizione al BNB, la quinta criptovaluta più grande per capitalizzazione di mercato (escludendo gli stablecoin), tramite conti di intermediazione tradizionali e IRA.
Questo lancio è particolarmente significativo in quanto il BNB, che alimenta l'ecosistema della BNB Chain e supporta applicazioni decentralizzate, protocolli DeFi e contratti intelligenti, non è facilmente disponibile sugli scambi centralizzati negli Stati Uniti. Il trust, inizialmente offerto tramite collocamento privato, ora rappresenta uno dei pochi modi per gli investitori statunitensi di ottenere un'esposizione al BNB in USD.

El fondo ofrece a los inversores estadounidenses exposición al BNB, la quinta criptomoneda más grande por capitalización de mercado (excluyendo stablecoins), a través de cuentas de corretaje tradicionales y cuentas IRA.
Este lanzamiento es particularmente significativo ya que el BNB, que potencia el ecosistema de BNB Chain y apoya aplicaciones descentralizadas, protocolos DeFi y contratos inteligentes, no está fácilmente disponible en los intercambios centralizados de EE. UU. El fondo, inicialmente ofrecido a través de colocación privada, ahora ofrece una de las pocas formas para que los inversores de EE. UU. obtengan exposición al BNB en USD.
Osprey Funds가 Osprey BNB Chain Trust (OBNB)를 출시했습니다. 이는 BNB 토큰을 기반으로 한 최초의 미국 공모 펀드로, 현재 OTCQX® 베스트 마켓에서 거래되고 있습니다. 이 펀드는 미국 투자자들에게 암호화폐 시장 시가총액 5위(스테이블 코인 제외)인 BNB에 대한 노출을 전통적인 중개 및 IRA 계좌를 통해 제공합니다.
이번 출시는 BNB가 BNB 체인 생태계를 지원하고 분산 애플리케이션, DeFi 프로토콜 및 스마트 계약을 지원하지만 미국의 중앙집중식 거래소에서는 쉽게 이용할 수 없기 때문에 특히 중요합니다. 이 신탁은 처음에 사모 배치를 통해 제공되었으나, 현재는 미국 투자자들이 USD로 BNB에 노출될 수 있는 몇 안 되는 방법 중 하나를 제공합니다.
Osprey Funds a lancé le Osprey BNB Chain Trust (OBNB), le premier fonds américain coté publiquement basé sur le token BNB, désormais négocié sur le marché OTCQX® Best Market. Le fonds permet aux investisseurs américains d'accéder au BNB, la cinquième plus grande cryptomonnaie par capitalisation boursière (hors stablecoins), via des comptes de courtage traditionnels et des IRA.
Ce lancement est particulièrement significatif car le BNB, qui alimente l'écosystème BNB Chain et soutient les applications décentralisées, les protocoles DeFi et les contrats intelligents, n'est pas facilement disponible sur les échanges centralisés aux États-Unis. Le trust, initialement proposé par placement privé, offre désormais l'une des rares possibilités pour les investisseurs américains d'obtenir une exposition au BNB en USD.
Osprey Funds hat den Osprey BNB Chain Trust (OBNB) ins Leben gerufen, den ersten öffentlich notierten US-Fonds, der auf dem BNB-Token basiert und nun am OTCQX® Best Market gehandelt wird. Der Fonds bietet US-Investoren Zugang zu BNB, der fünftgrößten Kryptowährung nach Marktkapitalisierung (außer Stablecoins), über traditionelle Makler- und IRA-Konten.
Dieser Launch ist besonders bedeutend, da BNB, das das BNB Chain-Ökosystem antreibt und dezentrale Anwendungen, DeFi-Protokolle und Smart Contracts unterstützt, auf US-zentralisierten Börsen nicht leicht verfügbar ist. Der Trust, der ursprünglich über private Platzierung angeboten wurde, bietet nun eine der wenigen Möglichkeiten für US-Investoren, BNB-Zugang in USD zu erhalten.
