BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX: CRYP)

The first ETF for investors to look at in August is the BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF.

This high risk ETF could be a top option for investors that believe the crypto industry is not only here to stay, but will become a big part of the global economy in the future.

That's because this ETF gives investors exposure to the leading players in the cryptocurrency industry. These are the mining equipment manufacturers, trading platform providers, and cryptocurrency miners.

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)

A second exciting ETF for ASX investors to look at in August is the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF.

This ETF could be a good option for investors that are wanting exposure to a growing cybersecurity industry.

Having exposure to the industry could be a smart move given that spending on cybersecurity services has been tipped to increase materially in the coming years as more infrastructure moves online and cyber attacks become more prevalent.

Among the companies included in the HACK ETF are Accenture, Cisco, Cloudflare, Crowdstrike, Fortinet, Okta, and Splunk. All these companies look well-placed to benefit from increasing demand for their services over the next decade.
