HUNTINGDON VALLEY, PA — SRN Advisors, LLC said the Siren Nasdaq NexGen Economy ETF (BLCN) will undergo a significant strategic overhaul at the end of the year, shifting from a passive, index-tracking approach to an actively managed strategy and adopting a new name.

Effective December 29, 2025, the fund will change its investment objective to seek long-term capital appreciation, replacing its current mandate of tracking the Nasdaq Blockchain Economy Index. Along with the new objective, the fund will abandon its passive structure in favor of active management, giving portfolio managers greater discretion to select investments aligned with emerging economic and technology themes.

As part of the transition, the fund will be renamed the Siren NexGen Economy ETF, a move that signals a broader focus beyond blockchain-specific exposure. The rebranding reflects a repositioning toward what SRN Advisors describes as the “next generation” of the global economy, a space that has evolved rapidly as blockchain-related investments have faced increased volatility and shifting investor sentiment.

The fund’s prior strategy was designed to mirror index performance before fees and expenses, offering investors exposure to companies tied to blockchain technology. The new structure marks a departure from that model, potentially increasing both opportunity and risk as returns will depend more heavily on active investment decisions.
