According to Odaily Odaily, Bitcoin fell by about 7% in 2025, and the stock prices of most crypto companies were also severely impacted. However, Cathie Wood's Blockchain and Fintech Innovation ETF, ARKF, achieved a return of 29%. By expanding its "Fintech" investment scope and investing more in technology companies closely related to artificial intelligence, ARKF 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 experienced slight declines, while the Fidelity Crypto Industry and Digital Payments ETF, VanEck Digital Transformation ETF, and iShares Blockchain and Tech ETF in the crypto sector all achieved double-digit gains.
