If you have $1,000 ready to invest and want exposure to some of the most exciting opportunities on the ASX, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) can be a great place to start. These diversified investment vehicles let you spread your money across many companies, often with just a single trade.

Here are three compelling ASX ETFs to consider for a $1,000 investment today.

BetaShares Australian Quality ETF (ASX: AQLT)

The first ASX ETF to look at is the BetaShares Australian Quality ETF. It gives investors easy exposure to a curated basket of ASX shares that score highly on quality metrics such as return on equity, earnings stability, and strong balance sheets. This includes leaders like CSL Ltd (ASX: CSL), Macquarie Group Ltd (ASX: MQG), and Telstra Group Ltd (ASX: TLS).

This ASX ETF is designed to perform positively through the cycle by favouring businesses with durable competitive advantages. For investors wanting long-term exposure to high-quality Australian shares, this fund could be an attractive option that doesn't rely on speculation. It was recently named as one to buy by the team at Betashares.

Betashares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX: CRYP)

For those willing to embrace volatility in pursuit of long-term gains, the Betashares Crypto Innovators ETF could be one to consider. This fund provides investors with exposure to global crypto-related companies. It includes firms like Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN), Riot Platforms (NASDAQ: RIOT), and MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR).

Rather than investing in cryptocurrencies directly, which comes with many risks, this ASX ETF targets the broader ecosystem. These are companies developing infrastructure and services for the digital asset revolution. While high risk, it could offer strong upside potential over the next decade if crypto markets continue to expand.

Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (ASX: RBTZ)

Finally, the Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF could be an ASX ETF to consider buying with the $1,000. It offers a gateway into the high-growth world of robotics, automation, and AI. It holds a collection of global innovators such as Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG), and Dynatrace Inc (NYSE: DT).

As artificial intelligence and robotics revolutionise industries from healthcare to manufacturing, the companies in this fund stand to benefit greatly from rapid adoption and investment. For growth-focused investors, this ASX ETF offers exposure to some of the most cutting-edge developments in the global economy. It was also recently tipped as one to consider buying by the team at Betashares.
