4 New Ways to Profit from Blockchain

These exchange-traded funds are a no-brainer.

“Want to hear something neat? My portfolio is up 24% this year.”

I watched my parents’ eyes pop after I spoke. You know, the “deer in the headlights” doom stare. Gotta say: not the reaction I was expecting.

We were at dinner and, as a developed favorite pastime, my parents were drilling me about the market.

My mom answered first: “Oh … my portfolio is up 5%.”

Yikes.

It seems they were letting their 401(k)s do all the work, and they were stuck in slow-growth funds that were barely matching the market’s rise this year.

Why was I doing almost five times better? Well, my main takeaway is this: I’m keeping an eye on disruptive tech trends.

One of those trends is blockchain technology. Experts project the industry will soar 77,400% as it explodes from a $4 billion market to a $3.1 trillion one. That’s something any investor would want to be a part of.

But investing in a new industry can be scary. Where do you start?

Well, I’ll tell you what I told my parents: Use an exchange-traded fund (ETF). That’s how you can easily start gaining broad, diverse exposure to the industry right as it booms.

Right now, there are a handful of ETFs that just hit the market. In late January, four blockchain ETFs launched in quick succession:

  1. The Innovation Shares NextGen Protocol ETF (NYSE: KOIN): $7.7 million in assets.
  2. First Trust Indxx Innovative Transaction & Process ETF (Nasdaq: LEGR): $44.4 million.
  3. The Reality Shares Nasdaq NexGen Economy ETF (Nasdaq: BLCN): $115 million.
  4. The Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF (NYSE: BLOK): $167 million.

But one of these ETFs is a better bet than the others. Here’s their performance laid out over the last three months:

Blockchain Investment ETF

From a quick glance, you might think KOIN (up 6.3%) is more promising. But it’s not very liquid or able to give you broad exposure.

BLOK is a solid pick considering it’s actively managed, but it tilts toward large caps, which makes it a less-effective blockchain play.

The one you want to pay attention to is BLCN (the bold blue line). It’s a purer, short-term play on blockchain — and it recently ccrossed above its 50-day moving average, an important trend line.

Just know that blockchain ETFs have an expense ratio of 0.65% to 0.70% a year — or about $6.50 for every $1,000 invested. That’s a bit pricey for an ETF, and about the same as an actively managed mutual fund.

If you're looking for a more direct play, I’d suggest getting in on the stocks with the best chance of skyrocketing during the coming boom. To learn how, just click here.
