Are you wanting to make some new additions to your portfolio? If exchange traded funds (ETFs) are of interest to you, then you may want to look at the three listed below.

Here's what you need to know about them:

BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX: CRYP)

The first ETF to look at is the BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF. As you might expect, this ETF has been hammered this year amid the collapse in the crypto market. But if you're a crypto-believer and feel that this is just a small blip then this ETF could be worth considering. It provides investors with exposure to crypto miners, neobanks, trading platforms, and mining equipment providers.

Among its holdings you'll find Coinbase, Silvergate, and Riot Blockchain. These companies look well-placed for growth over the next decade if the crypto industry proves not to be a fad.

BetaShares Global Banks ETF (ASX: BNKS)

Another ETF for investors to look at is BetaShares Global Banks ETF. As its name implies, this ETF gives investors exposure to many of the world's largest banks. And as it excludes Australian banks, it could be a good option if you've already got reasonable exposure to them in your portfolio.

Among the banks included in the fund are Bank of America, Barclays, Citigroup, HSBC, JPMorgan and Wells Fargo.

BetaShares Global Energy Companies ETF (ASX: FUEL)

A final ETF for ASX investors look at is the BetaShares Global Energy Companies ETF. This ETF provides investors with exposure to many of the world's largest energy companies. This could make it a top option for investors that are wanting to gain exposure to sky high oil prices.

Among the 50+ shares included in the fund are energy giants such as BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Royal Dutch Shell. These all appear well placed to deliver bumper profits and dividends in the near term thanks to favourable oil prices.
