"*We believe that investment in NFTs will be as big as the investment in cryptocurrencies*"-- Paul Ebeling

Since the start of Y 2021, the unique token-like assets have exploded in popularity, with buying waves driven by collectors who spotted the uncommon value behind major NFT collections.

A new ETF that we know of will capture the white-hot market for NFTs in a Key financial product. 

But the catch is that it will not actually own any NFTs, crypto assets or related derivatives.

Listed under the symbol ([NYSEARCA:NFTZ](NYSEARCA:NFTZ)) by issuer Defiance ETFs, the Defiance Digital Revolution ETF launched Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange's Arca platform. 

The fund owns shares in publicly traded blockchain-related companies like Coinbase ([COIN](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/COIN?p=COIN&.tsrc=fin-srch)), in addition to those making a commitment to NFTs, like Funko ([FNKO](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/FNKO?p=FNKO&.tsrc=fin-srch)), PlayBoy ([PLBY](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/PLBY?p=PLBY&.tsrc=fin-srch)) and DraftKings ([DKNG](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/DKNG?p=DKNG&.tsrc=fin-srch)).

NFTZ may not directly offer investors a ride on the next wave of NFT frenzy, but it does give indexed exposure to that segment of the booming blockchain/crypto sector.

“*The next generation of traders are not like traditional asset allocators. These people are interested in things that allow them to connect and create and be a part of something,"* the CIO and co-founder of Defiance ETFs, told us.

"*The NFT world has created this sense of representing ownership for digital assets that has fundamentally changed culture and the market for things other than stocks and currencies,”* the CIO added.

Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies which are minted as interchangeable units, NFTs are digitally unique tokens stored on a blockchain. They range from digital collectibles, art and music to concert tickets, video game assets, among a growing list of other areas. 

For those who are not collectors but are Bullish on NFTs in general, NFTZ may provide another way to get investment exposure.

Have a healthy, prosperous weekend, Keep the Faith!
