The VanEck Gaming ETF (BJK) officially became the VanEck Digital Native Economy ETF (GENZ) on April 9, 2026, shifting its portfolio from casino operators to digital economy companies like Uber, NetEase, and Charles Schwab. This change affects the fund's dividend profile, as many new holdings prioritize growth and buybacks over dividends, unlike the previous casino-heavy lineup. While the current dividend payout remains supported by a few financially strong payers, the overall distribution is expected to decline and become less predictable. Income-focused investors may need to reconsider their position, as GENZ now serves more as a growth-oriented thematic fund rather than a reliable income source.
