Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

BKCHBGlobal X Blockchain ETF

FDIGAFidelity Crypto Industry and Digital Payments ETF

In short

BKCH BKCH buys the pickaxes, not the gold: roughly 30 listed miners, exchanges and hardware names that live off blockchain activity, with no coins on the books. It's the low-cost option in its blockchain-equity peer group and one of the strongest builds in it.

FDIG Crypto exposure through the companies, not the coins: roughly 50 miners, exchanges and digital payments processors, weighted by how heavily they trade rather than how big they are, in a Fidelity-built index priced below the thematic norm.

Stated mandate

BKCH BKCH seeks exposure to companies expected to benefit from wider blockchain adoption, spanning digital-asset mining and transactions as well as blockchain applications, hardware, and integration. It tracks the Solactive Blockchain Index before fees and expenses.

FDIG The fund seeks to track the performance of the Fidelity Crypto Industry and Digital Payments Index before fees and expenses. It normally invests at least 80% of assets in equity securities or depositary receipts included in that index.

Why people hold it

  • BKCH Cheapest ticket in the group at 0.50%, undercutting rivals like BLOK (0.70%) and MNRS (0.59%) on the sticker price you actually pay every year.globalxetfs.com
  • Rules, not hunches: it tracks the Solactive Blockchain Index, so the basket is set by published methodology rather than a manager's conviction of the week.globalxetfs.com
  • Crypto exposure through ordinary stocks: digital-asset mining and transactions plus blockchain applications, hardware and integration, all in a regular brokerage account. No wallets, no keys.globalxetfs.com
  • Trading since 2021, global in reach, and one of the strongest implementations in its blockchain-equity cohort.
  • FDIG Runs 0.39%, under the 0.56% median for global thematic funds. Cheap real estate in a corner of the market where niche fees usually bite.
  • Weights positions by trading volume rather than market cap, so the largest company in the group is not automatically the largest holding.fidelity.comfidelity.com 2
  • Two engines under one ticker: crypto miners and exchanges on one side, digital payments processors on the other, about 50 names in all.fidelity.com
  • Fidelity builds the index itself, screening on revenue plus text analysis of company disclosures, and rebalances quarterly over four days.fidelity.com

Worth knowing

  • BKCH Concentration is the design: roughly 30 names bolted to a single theme, so swings run far harder than a broad tech fund's.
  • These are crypto-linked companies, not coins. Mining economics, earnings and financing decisions drive returns alongside token prices.globalxetfs.com
  • Payouts come annually or semiannually at most, and the fund is mid-sized with moderate trading volume, so patient limit orders beat market orders.
  • FDIG Non-diversified and industry-narrow. Fidelity's own documents flag bigger swings and meaningful exposure to a small number of issuers.fidelity.com
  • You own crypto-linked equities, not crypto. Miners and payment processors can respond to very different news on any given day.fidelity.com
  • Volume runs light next to the ETF giants, so spreads can widen and the market price can sit at a premium or discount to net asset value.fidelity.com
