BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX: CRYP)

The first ETF for investors to look at is the BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF. This ETF could be a great option if you're a crypto-believer and feel that the recent weakness in the industry is just a blip on a very long successful road higher. That's because this high risk ETF gives investors easy access to the main players in the cryptocurrency industry. These are the miners, neobanks, trading platforms, and mining equipment providers. Among its holdings you'll find Coinbase, Silvergate, and Riot Blockchain.

BetaShares Global Banks ETF (ASX: BNKS)

Another ETF for investors to look at is BetaShares Global Banks ETF. Unsurprisingly, given its name, this ETF gives investors exposure to many of the world's largest banks (excluding Australian banks). With the banking sector still yet to fully recover in 2022, this could be an opportune time to make a long term investment. Especially with rates now rising and boosting bank margins. Among the banks included in the fund are Bank of America, Barclays, Citigroup, HSBC, JPMorgan and Wells Fargo.

Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)

A final ETF for investors to look at is the popular Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF. This ETF provides investors with exposure to almost 1,500 of the world's largest listed companies. Vanguard believes it could be a good option for buy and hold investors that are seeking long-term capital growth, some income, and international diversification. Among the companies you'll be investing in are giants such as Amazon, Apple, Danone, Exxon Mobil, Nestle, Procter & Gamble, and Visa.
