Data: Some Crypto ETFs Defied the Trend and Profited in 2025, ARKF Under Cathie Wood's Ark Invest Delivered Nearly 30% Annual Return

According to Odaily, while Bitcoin fell approximately 7% in 2025 and most crypto company stocks were also hit hard, the blockchain and fintech innovation ETF ARKF under Cathie Wood's Ark Invest achieved a 29% return. By expanding its "fintech" investment scope to include more tech companies closely related to artificial intelligence, it successfully reversed the industry 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 Siren NexGen Economy ETF saw slight declines. However, within the crypto space, the Fidelity Crypto Industry and Digital Payments ETF, along with the VanEck Digital Transformation ETF and iShares Blockchain and Tech ETF, all achieved double-digit gains.
