区块链情报局 | 比特币前沿元宇宙ETF持续升温，机构加速布局下能否成投资热点？随着“元宇宙”概念持续火热，多家互联网科技公司争相申请“元宇宙”相关商标，元宇宙ETF也受到了市场投资者的热捧，主流机构争相申请推出元宇宙基金。继美国、韩国、加拿大之后，中国香港首只元宇宙主题ETF也已经在港交所上市。目前全球有哪些已经或正在推出的元宇宙ETF？这一快速增长的领域能否成为2022年的爆发热点？全球主要元宇宙ETF分布元宇宙概念自2021年大热，尤其在第三季度伴随着Facebook的改名事件后达到了热度顶峰。与元宇宙概念相关的领域在全球范围逐步爆发，不仅包括元宇宙相关的游戏、NFT等项目大火，还有多只元宇宙ETF（交易所交易基金）也引来了众多投资者的追捧。据不完全统计，截至目前，全球已经发行了10只以元宇宙命名的ETF，其中有4只来自韩国，3只来自美国，2 只来自加拿大，1只来自中国香港。韩国作为率先在亚洲推出元宇宙ETF的国家，去年10月便有首批4只元宇宙ETF挂牌上市，包括三星资产管理公司推出的主动管理型基金KODEX K-Metaverse Activ，还有其余三只被动型基金：KB资产管理的KBSTAR iSelect Metaverse、NH Amundi资产管理推出的Hanaro Fn K-Metaverse MZ和Mirae Asset的Tiger Fn Metaverse。这些ETF不到2周的时间吸引了1 亿美元的资金流入。根据三星资产管理公司披露的数据显示，截至2022年1月19日，韩国元宇宙ETF资金流入总额已超过10亿美元，其中超过8亿美元流入了4只专注于韩国元宇宙概念股的ETF，其中包括三星推出的元宇宙ETF，而另有超过3.38亿美元流入了更多的全球元宇宙ETF。这部分资金有70%来自散户投资者。因此，韩国可以说是目前全球增长最快的元宇宙ETF市场之一。如果说韩国是目前全球增长最快的元宇宙ETF市场，那么美国则是当下元宇宙ETF的最大市场，截至目前已发行3只元宇宙ETF，分别是Roundhill Investments公司推出的Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF（METV）、风投公司Subversive Capital推出的Subversive Metaverse ETF (PUNK)以及Fount推出的 Fount Metaverse ETF（MTVR）。资料来源：roundhillinvestments.com 日期：2021年3月3日其中，Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF成立于2021年6月30日，截至今年1月12日，该基金资产管理规模（AUM）接近9.5亿美元，成为全球规模最大的元宇宙ETF。从持仓标的来看，METV主要投资于硬件和虚拟平台等领域，目前持仓46家布局元宇宙的公司，包括英伟达、微软、Meta（原Facebook）等。而相对来说，加拿大的两只元宇宙ETF表现则较为“惨淡”，Evolve Metaverse ETF（MESH）和Horizons Global Metaverse Index ETF（MTAV）分别由两家基金公司在去年11月推出，但都经历了“上市即巅峰”的状况。前者主要投资北美及其他全球市场的元宇宙股票组合，包括动视暴雪、Roblox、微软及Meta；后者将复制Solactive Global元宇宙指数的表现，最高权重公司包括腾讯、2022-03-0706 min
