The ASX 200 and global markets have experienced a bout of volatility this month after oil prices surged in response to escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Exchange traded funds (ETFs) can be a particularly useful way to take advantage of these pullbacks. With a single investment, they can provide investors with exposure to a basket of companies positioned to benefit from powerful long-term trends.
With that in mind, here are three ASX ETFs that could be worth considering after the recent market selloff.

Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)
The first ASX ETF that could be a buy after the recent volatility is the Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF.
This fund provides exposure to leading technology companies across Asia, particularly in China, Taiwan, and South Korea. These businesses play a critical role in the global digital economy.
Among its holdings are Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE: TSM), the world's most advanced chip manufacturer, Tencent (SEHK: 700), which operates a vast ecosystem of digital services, and Alibaba (NYSE: BABA), a major player in ecommerce and cloud computing.
Many Asian technology shares have experienced periods of significant volatility in recent years, but the long-term growth drivers behind digital payments, artificial intelligence (AI), and online services remain intact.
Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)
Another ASX ETF that could be worth a closer look is the Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF.
Cybersecurity has become a critical priority for businesses and governments as more services move online and cyber threats continue to evolve.
The ETF invests in companies that develop the tools used to protect networks, data, and digital infrastructure. Holdings include companies such as CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), which specialises in cloud-based endpoint security, Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), a leader in network security platforms, and Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT), which provides cybersecurity hardware and software solutions.
As digital transformation continues across industries, spending on cybersecurity is widely expected to grow.
VanEck Video Gaming and Esports ETF (ASX: ESPO)
A final ASX ETF that could be worth considering after the selloff is the VanEck Video Gaming and Esports ETF.
This fund invests in companies involved in the global gaming industry, which has grown into one of the largest entertainment sectors in the world.
Its holdings include companies such as Nintendo, which produces some of the most popular gaming franchises globally, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), whose graphics chips power gaming PCs and consoles, and Roblox (NYSE: RBLX), a platform that blends gaming with social interaction and user-generated content.
Gaming continues to expand as an entertainment medium across consoles, PCs, and mobile devices. As technology improves and audiences grow, companies within this ecosystem could benefit from strong long-term demand.
This fund was recently recommended by analysts at VanEck.
