Those that are intrigued in the world of cryptocurrency as a prospective investor will never cease to be surprised by the diversity of ways in which they can create a unique portfolio of various crypto assets.
It's become an even more exciting space for investors based in the US, because there are now 6 Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) which offer very unique exposure to a range of companies and their stocks that have otherwise strong connections to the world of blockchain in some capacity. With all the fuss about Bitcoin ETFs and what their impact would be on the industry (especially given the fact the SEC is re-reviewing its latest denials), Blockchain ETFs are still in the picture and carry significant importance as well.
While these ETFs are incredibly varied for a range of factors, such as inception, returns, fees, and holdings, among the many other aspects, they're all created with a single objective they each seek to fulfill: to provide technology and blockchain enthusiasts and investors with exposure to blockchain stocks.
At the moment, these ETFs are: The Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF (BLOK), the Reality Share NASDAQ NexGen Economy ETF (BLCN), the First Trust Indxx Innovative Transaction and Process ETF (LEGR), the Innovation Shares NextGen Protocol ETF (KOIN), the REX BKCM ETF (BKC), and the Reality Shares Nasdaq NexGen Economy China ETF (BCNA).
Upon a closer observation of each of the six ETFs, about 60 to 70% of fund holdings demonstrate that they're dominated by the technology sector, and have roughly a 50% allocation on average in stocks based in North America. We take an even closer look at the unique characteristics of these various Exchange Traded Funds to see how they match up.
