The metaverse is becoming an increasingly hot industry sector, with investors pouring money into new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that promise to provide financial exposure. ETFs typically work by providing investors with a mix of assets which are aligned with a stated strategy. Some aim at providing diversification across the market. Metaverse ETFs are an example of “thematic” ETFs which aim to give targeted exposure to a particular investment trend, without investors having to put all the money into one company.
We take a look at 3 Metaverse ETFs that are available today. This article is for information purposes only and is in no way financial advice
