Key points
  • The BetaShares Australian Technology ETF offers exposure to top Australian tech companies involved in transformative trends like cloud computing and digital infrastructure, despite recent volatility.
  • The BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF targets the expanding cryptocurrency and blockchain sectors, providing opportunities in a volatile but potentially rewarding market.
  • The BetaShares Global Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF captures the rapid growth in AI and automation industries, housing leading innovators in industrial automation and AI processing.

If you're looking to put $10,000 to work and want exposure to some of the most powerful megatrends shaping the global economy, a handful of ASX ETFs are offering exactly that.

These funds allow you to tap into high-growth sectors like technology, AI, digital assets, and advanced robotics, all without needing to pick individual winners.

And with markets recently wobbling on interest rate uncertainty and sentiment swinging sharply between optimism and caution, this could be an ideal moment to target long-term opportunities at more attractive prices.

Here are three explosive growth ETFs that could supercharge a portfolio over the next decade.

BetaShares Australian Technology ETF (ASX: ATEC)

If you want exposure to Australia's leading technology shares, the BetaShares Australian Technology ETF remains one of the strongest options on the ASX.

This ASX ETF includes some of the country's most scalable and globally competitive tech names, such as WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC), Xero Ltd (ASX: XRO), TechnologyOne Ltd (ASX: TNE), NextDC Ltd (ASX: NXT), and REA Group Ltd (ASX: REA).

These companies are deeply embedded in long-term trends like logistics automation, cloud computing, enterprise SaaS, and digital infrastructure. WiseTech dominates global freight software, Xero leads small-business accounting, TechnologyOne continues to expand its SaaS+ footprint, NextDC is powering AI and cloud growth through data centres, and REA Group remains Australia's dominant property platform.

Australian tech has been volatile in recent months, but the fundamentals of these businesses remain exceptionally strong. This fund was recently named as one to consider buying by Betashares.

BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX: CRYP)

For investors comfortable with volatility, the BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF provides exposure to the companies leading the global cryptocurrency and blockchain ecosystem.

It includes major global players such as Coinbase Global (NASDAQ: COIN), MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR), Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ: MARA), and Riot Platforms (NASDAQ: RIOT).

These companies tend to move sharply with shifts in crypto sentiment, and the ETF has fallen significantly from its highs as risk appetite cooled. But the long-term adoption of blockchain technology, decentralised finance, and digital storage solutions continues to grow worldwide.

For investors with patience and a tolerance for volatility, this fund could provide powerful leverage to future crypto cycles.

BetaShares Global Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (ASX: RBTZ)

The long-term megatrend of artificial intelligence, automation, and robotics remains one of the most compelling themes in global investing, and the BetaShares Global Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF is a straightforward way to access it.

This ASX ETF holds world-leading stocks such as Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), ABB Ltd (SWX: ABBN), Fanuc Corporation (TYO: 6954), Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG), and Keyence Corporation.

These are innovators driving everything from industrial automation to AI processing to robotic-assisted surgery. These industries are scaling rapidly as businesses modernise their operations and adopt intelligent systems.

It was also recently named as one to consider buying by Betashares.
