If you're starting with $1,000 to invest, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) can be a smart way to gain exposure to some of the most exciting growth opportunities in the share market with a limited outlay.
With a single trade, you can invest in dozens or hundreds of stocks driving innovation around the world.
Here are three ASX ETFs that could be worth a look this month.

Betashares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX: CRYP)
For investors looking to tap into the digital asset revolution without buying tokens directly, the Betashares Crypto Innovators ETF is an accessible entry point. The fund invests in global stocks that are building and servicing the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
That includes names like Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN), one of the largest crypto exchanges in the world, and Riot Platforms (NASDAQ: RIOT), a leading Bitcoin miner. The industry is volatile, but it is also one of the fastest-moving areas of global finance and technology. For a small slice of a diversified portfolio, this fund offers exposure to a trend that could reshape how money and networks operate in the decades ahead.
Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)
The Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF tracks 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq exchange, which means instant exposure to some of the world's most innovative businesses.
While names like Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) get the headlines, the fund also includes companies outside the usual big tech narrative.
For example, PepsiCo (NASDAQ: PEP) and Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) bring defensive strength in consumer staples, while Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) offers steady retail growth. This mix of high-growth tech and resilient industry leaders makes the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF a versatile option for investors seeking long-term compounding power.
Betashares Cloud Computing ETF (ASX: CLDD)
The shift to cloud computing has been one of the defining business trends of the past decade, and it shows no signs of slowing. The Betashares Cloud Computing ETF provides exposure to stocks enabling this transition, from infrastructure providers to software platforms.
Among its holdings are Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW), which specialises in cloud-based data warehousing, and ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), a leader in digital workflow automation. As businesses around the world continue moving their operations online, the demand for cloud solutions is expected to keep expanding — giving the Betashares Cloud Computing ETF's portfolio a powerful growth runway. It was recently named as one to consider buying by the team at Betashares.
