Betashares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX: CRYP)
The Betashares Crypto Innovators ETF offers exposure to the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology — without having to directly buy and store digital assets yourself. It invests in global companies building the infrastructure and services that support crypto adoption.
Holdings include Coinbase Global (NASDAQ: COIN), one of the world's leading crypto exchanges, and Galaxy Digital (TSX: GLXY), which is an investment firm focused on digital assets.
While crypto markets can be extremely volatile, the underlying blockchain technology has a wide range of potential applications, from decentralised finance to supply chain management. For investors who believe in the long-term growth of this space, the Betashares Crypto Innovators ETF offers an easy way to gain diversified exposure.
Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)
Cybersecurity has become one of the fastest-growing areas of technology, as businesses and governments increase spending to protect critical systems from cyberattacks.
The Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF invests in leading cybersecurity companies like CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), and Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT). These businesses provide software, hardware, and services that safeguard data and defend against evolving threats.
With cyberattacks on the rise and the shift to cloud computing and remote work increasing the need for digital protection, the companies in this fund look set to benefit greatly.
Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)
Finally, the Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF targets some of the most dynamic technology companies across Asia (excluding Japan).
This allows investors to tap into a region experiencing rapid digital adoption and a growing middle class.
The fund's top holdings include TSMC (NYSE: TSM), which is the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer; Meituan (SEHK: 3690), a major player in food delivery and local services; and PDD Holdings (NASDAQ: PDD), one of China's fastest-growing e-commerce platforms and the owner of Temu.
With Asia expected to lead global economic growth in the coming decades, the Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF gives investors exposure to technology leaders at the heart of that transformation.
