Blockchain ETFs are similar to any other standard exchange-traded funds (ETF) that are focused on a particular sector or theme. Blockchain-based ETFs are structured in a way such that they exclusively invest in a select portfolio of stocks of companies that are operating in the blockchain space. Such companies may be running blockchain based projects on a for-profit basis, or may be offering services in the blockchain ecosystem, or may have support operations centered on blockchain infrastructure, or may have business operations through investments in blockchain-based projects. These may also include stocks of companies which directly or indirectly may be involved in mining, trading or promotion of cryptocurrencies and those that develop or utilize blockchain technology. Blockchain is coupled with crypotocurrencies, though they are a different ballgame altogether. Despite the wide price swings seen in the valuations of the cryptocurrencies which are built on top of blockchain infrastructure, the blockchain technology remains promising as a technology stack and is finding increasing use in various facets of life as well as in a variety of business operations. Investors having strong faith in the promising potential of the technology can take a shot in the blockchain investment space through the route of blockchain ETFs.
