Data: Some Crypto ETFs Defy Market Downturn to Generate Profits in 2025, Cathie Wood's ARKF Achieves Nearly 30% Annual Return

Odaily News Bitcoin declined by approximately 7% in 2025, and the stock prices of most crypto companies also suffered significant setbacks. However, Cathie Wood's blockchain and fintech innovation ETF, ARKF, achieved a 29% return. By expanding its "fintech" investment scope to include more technology companies closely related to artificial intelligence, it successfully reversed the industry's downturn. It is reported that ARKF holds shares in PayPal, Adyen, and Toast, and has increased its holdings in Circle and Robinhood.

Furthermore, the overall performance of fintech funds in 2025 was mixed. For example, the Global X FinTech ETF and the Siren NexGen Economy ETF experienced slight declines. However, within the crypto sector, the Fidelity Crypto Industry and Digital Payments ETF, as well as the VanEck Digital Transformation ETF and the iShares Blockchain and Tech ETF, all achieved double-digit gains.
