So apparently VanEck just decided to package internet culture into a financial product. They're launching something called the "Degen Economy" ETF.

Yeah, you read that right – they literally took the term we use to roast each other for aping into sketchy tokens and turned it into an institutional investment vehicle.

Kinda wild how fast the suits are catching on to our lingo. One day you're calling yourself a degen in some Discord server, next thing you know a major asset manager is filing paperwork with that exact phrase.

Whether this is brilliant marketing or peak irony probably depends on how the fund actually performs. But you gotta admit, the timeline where traditional finance embraces crypto slang is pretty entertaining.
