CRPTDFirst Trust SkyBridge Crypto Industry and Digital Economy ETF

DAPPBVanEck Digital Transformation ETF

In short

CRPT A crypto stock basket that can also hold Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Products, so miners, exchanges and the coin's own price sit under one ticker. Roughly 30 global names, run to a capital-appreciation mandate, trading since 2021.

DAPP Crypto exposure without the crypto. DAPP holds the equities of the digital-asset economy (exchanges, miners, infrastructure) and by its own mandate never buys a coin, a coin derivative, or an ICO.

Stated mandate

CRPT The Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in companies involved in the crypto industry and digital economy, including companies connected with crypto markets and Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Products.

DAPP Before fees and expenses, the Fund seeks to follow the price and yield performance of the MVIS Global Digital Assets Equity Index, which is designed to represent companies participating in digital-asset economies.

Why people hold it

  • CRPT The hybrid: crypto-industry equities plus Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Products, so one holding covers the picks-and-shovels names and direct coin-price exposure.ftportfolios.com
  • Global mandate, not a US-only shortlist, so exchanges and miners listed overseas are in scope.ftportfolios.com
  • Roughly 30 holdings: a focused lineup of crypto operators rather than a watered-down tech sleeve.
  • Live since 2021, across crypto's crash and its rebound, inside a plain 1940 Act ETF wrapper with daily liquidity.ftportfolios.com
  • DAPP A clean split of the trade: you own the businesses built around digital assets, while the fund is barred from holding the assets themselves or derivatives on them.usnews.comaaii.com
  • 0.52% expense ratio, a shade under the typical global thematic fund, for a rules-based index rather than a manager's hunches.
  • One of the more actively traded names in its thematic peer group, which generally means less bid-ask friction on the way in and out.
  • Launched in 2021, early to the crypto-equity shelf, and built on VanEck's own MVIS Global Digital Assets Equity Index.

Worth knowing

  • CRPT At 0.85% it prices above most crypto-equity peers: BKCH charges 0.50%, BLOK 0.70%.
  • Crypto-linked stocks swing hard both ways, and with about 30 names, single-company news lands with real force on the portfolio.
  • Built for capital appreciation, not income: cash distributions come at most once or twice a year.
  • DAPP Non-diversified by design and concentrated in miners and exchanges, so a single company's stumble can move the whole fund.usnews.comaaii.com
  • These companies live off digital-asset activity, so the ride tends to track the crypto cycle even though no coins are held.
  • Not an income holding: nothing was paid out over the past year, so the whole case rests on share prices.
