BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX: CRYP)

The first ETF for investors to look at is the BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF. As its name implies, this ETF gives investors exposure to the booming cryptocurrency industry. However, instead of being focused on coins, this ETF covers the companies that are heavily involved in the industry.

BetaShares notes that the high risk Crypto Innovators ETF provides investors with a convenient, cost-effective way to gain exposure to the leaders of the rapidly emerging crypto economy. These are companies that provide mining equipment, trading platforms, and even the mining of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Among the shares you'll be owning a slice of are crypto mining hardware manufacturer Canaan, crypto trading platform Coinbase, crypto bank Silvergate, and crypto mining company Riot Blockchain.

BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

Another ETF for investors to look at is the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF. It gives investors exposure to the cybersecurity sector, which has been benefiting greatly from the shift of infrastructure to the cloud and the rising threat of cyberattacks.

And with online threats only getting greater, demand for cybersecurity services looks set to continue increasing for years to come. This will be good news for the shares included in the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF, which includes the leaders in the global cybersecurity sector.

Among the shares in the fund that you will be buying a slice of are cybersecurity giants such as Accenture, Cisco, Cloudflare, Crowdstrike, and Okta.
