The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is having one of its best 12 months in recent memory. During the period, the benchmark index has recorded a gain of just under 19%.
To put that into context, a $50,000 investment a year ago would now be worth almost $60,000.
But as strong as that gain is, there are a number of ASX exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that have performed even stronger.
Four ASX ETFs that have smashed the market are named below. They are as follows:

BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX: CRYP)
The BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF has obliterated the market over the past 12 months.
During this time period, the crypto focused fund has more than doubled in value with a gain of approximately 117%.
Investors have been scrambling to buy this ETF after the crypto market rallied strongly, giving the companies held by the fund a major boost. This ETF is designed to provide access to the full crypto ecosystem. Its holdings include pure-play crypto companies, those whose balance sheets are held at least 75% in crypto-assets, and diversified companies with crypto-focused business operations.
BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)
Another ASX ETF that has beaten the market is the BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF.
It provides investors with access to approximately 50 of the best technology stocks from the Asian region. These technology tigers include online retail giant Alibaba, WeChat owner Tencent Holdings, Temu owner PDD Holdings, and search engine leader Baidu.
This has been a great place to put your money over the past 12 months. During this time the ETF has risen by over 28%.
BetaShares Diversified All Growth ETF (ASX: DHHF)
A third ASX ETF that has outperformed the ASX 200 index is the BetaShares Diversified All Growth ETF.
This ETF, which was recently named as one to buy by BetaShares, gives investors access to ~8,000 large, mid, and small cap stocks from Australia, the US, developed markets, and emerging markets.
Betashares notes that it has high growth potential and could be suitable for investors with a high tolerance for risk. The reward certainly has been worth the risk. Over the 12 months the ETF has recorded a gain of approximately 23%.
BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)
Finally, the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF has been a great place to invest your money over the 12 months.
It gives investors the opportunity to invest in the growing cybersecurity sector. With cybercrime on the rise, demand for cybersecurity services has been growing strongly, which has been music to the ears of companies such as Accenture, Cisco, Crowdstrike, and Palo Alto Networks.
Since this time last year, the ETF has risen over 31%.
