5 Biggest Blockchain ETFs in 2023

5 Biggest Blockchain ETFs in 2023

Cryptocurrency investors have experienced a real rollercoaster in the last few years — the likes of Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple have had incredible highs and crashes, and investors have seen big gains and losses in tandem.

Despite that volatility, many market participants are still interested in how to enter and make money in the developing cryptocurrency sector. But depending on how you look at it, perhaps the bigger story is blockchain technology.

Blockchain is the mechanism through which digital currencies like Bitcoin are “mined” into existence, and it’s become a popular investment in its own right for savvy investors. Case in point — over the last few years, an array of major blockchain technology stocks have emerged. What’s more, large companies like Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB), IBM (NYSE:IBM), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Toyota (NYSE:TM) have invested in blockchain technology. These corporations see the potential for blockchain to play a role in sectors such as driverless vehicles, food safety and fintech.

For those new to the blockchain space, deciding on a specific company to invest in may seem overwhelming, especially with the current market uncertainty around cryptocurrency price movements.

That’s where exchange-traded funds (ETFs) come in. In simple terms, ETFs are marketable securities that track an index, a commodity, bonds or a basket of assets like an index fund. ETFs trade like a stock on an exchange, and each ETF owns its underlying assets, dividing them up into shares that are available to investors.

While blockchain investing is relatively new, more and more data on the space is becoming available, and opportunities are opening up. For those interested in diving into the market using ETFs, the list below includes the top five blockchain ETFs by total assets as per information on ETF.com as of August 28, 2023.
