The recent market selloff has been disappointing for investors, but it may have created a very attractive opportunity to buy shares or exchange traded funds (ETFs) at bargain prices.

But which ASX ETFs could be buys after the selloff?

Here are three funds that could be worth buying and holding from here.

BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

The BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF effectively gives investors access to a collection of global platform businesses that sit at the centre of the digital economy.

Its holdings include companies like Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), all of which generate vast amounts of cash and reinvest it into expanding their ecosystems.

Amazon is a good example of this dynamic. While best known for ecommerce, it has built a highly profitable cloud computing division in AWS, which underpins much of the modern internet.

After the recent pullback, the BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF now offers exposure to companies that are not just growing, but shaping how entire industries operate at a sizeable discount to what investors were willing to pay a month ago. That could make it an appealing option for long-term investors.

VanEck Video Gaming and Esports AUD ETF (ASX: ESPO)

The VanEck Video Gaming and Esports AUD ETF is another ASX ETF to consider. It provides exposure to an industry that continues to evolve far beyond traditional gaming.

Its holdings include Nintendo (TYO: 7974), Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA), and Roblox (NYSE: RBLX), spanning game developers, publishers, and interactive platforms.

Roblox highlights how the industry is shifting. It is not just a game, but a user-generated platform where players create and monetise their own experiences, blurring the lines between gaming and social media.

This points to a broader trend where gaming is becoming a form of digital engagement and community, rather than just entertainment. As younger generations spend more time in these environments, monetisation opportunities are expanding.

Overall, the VanEck Video Gaming and Esports AUD ETF offers investors exposure to a growing digital ecosystem that is still in the early stages of its evolution. This fund was recently recommended by the team at VanEck.

BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)

The BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF is a third ASX ETF to consider after the selloff. It offers a different angle on growth, focusing on the rise of technology leaders across Asia.

Its portfolio includes companies such as Tencent (SEHK: 700), Alibaba (NYSE: BABA), PDD Holdings (NASDAQ: PDD), Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU), and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE: TSM).

Taiwan Semiconductor is a key player worth highlighting. It manufactures advanced chips used in everything from smartphones to AI systems, making it a critical supplier in the global technology chain.

While sentiment towards Asian markets can be volatile, the long-term drivers remain strong. Rising digital adoption, expanding middle classes, and increasing innovation are all supporting growth in the region.

After the recent pullback, the BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF provides an attractive way to tap into these trends. It was recently recommended by analysts at Betashares.
