Blockchain: Investing in a revolution in the making
What is blockchain technology?
Blockchain is the distributed ledger technology underpinning the digital assets ecosystem and the next evolution of the internet. At its core, the technology is a cryptographically secure, trustless, distributed database representing a single source of truth that does not depend on a centralised counterparty to maintain its integrity.
Blockchain can be thought of as ‘database 2.0’ and it can innovate wherever a transparent, immutable, and digital record of information is needed. As such, the range of potential applications for the technology is wide, diverse, and far-reaching.
At WisdomTree, we believe that investors can reap the potential reward of this technological revolution with the WisdomTree Blockchain UCITS ETF, which invests in pure-play companies that are capitalising on the high growth potential of blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies.
Is blockchain the future?
Blockchain technology is a revolution in the making. While Bitcoin was the first blockchain created, and aimed to be a revolutionary, decentralised currency and payments system, the ecosystem has evolved far and wide outside of this sphere.
Several Megatrends are pushing blockchain technology adoption forward:
Digitalisation of Finance
Disrupting Payments
Metaverse
Internet of Things
Targeting and capturing blockchain-focused companies
Our blockchain equity strategy captures this future trend by focusing on companies with high proportions of revenues in blockchain related activities. The portfolio is split between companies that support the ecosystem (Enablers) and companies that primarily provide blockchain products and services (Engagers).
