I think trading volume/liguidity should be a category. Since you are supposed to trade these funds rather than hold FNGU wins the category since you are more likely to get your preferred entry and exit price. ETHE isn't even available to trade 24/7 so if ethereum blasts through your entry or exit on the weekend or in the late evening your screwed. BLOK also has poor availability outside regular trading hours and 3 percent gaps are common on the open. FNGU takes first place in this category with 70x the trading volume and consistant ability outside regular trading hours you should be able to get your bid and ask price.
I hear you nasty on volume/liquidity, but it's tough due to space/time constraints. Our judges will typically bring up volume/liquidity in the context of trading costs, so although it's not an official category, we cover it more times than not. Thanks for watching ETF Battles, be sure to watch our latest season for 2024. Take care friend. Ron

Interestingly I have all three . I bought fngu in may2020 to have exposure in FAANG stocks., then found Blok interesting and bought in jan 2021. And more I studied about ethereum’s use more I got attracted towards ethe. So I bought ETHE in feb21. Beside these I bought Voyager in jan21. Looking at the growth and future of these its hard to avoid them.
I've always like ETH's utility over BTC and for that reason, I think it has way more potential to re-shape the future of business. Nobody has any clue what that will mean for ETH prices looking ahead, but it's certainly hard to be bearish. Best of success to you and don't forget to subscribe! Warm regards, Ron #ETFBattles
I'm new to this and I have a question that may not make much sense. How do you move a crypto ETF off the exchange? I'm looking at AAVE3S but can't figure out how to protect in a wallet if that makes sense. If anyone can help me understand this part I'd appreciate it. I know how to move coins but don't know if hard wallets apply to ETFs.
HJ: The hard wallets used in crypto-land aren't used in the ETF market. If you're trying to convert an ETF position to cash, you simply liquidate it by placing a sell order. If you're trying to keep the ETF position but transfer it to a different brokerage or retirement account, the transfer can be executed as a custodian-to-custodian in-kind transfer (without selling it). Hope this helps clear up any confusion. Take care, Ron
Saludos IG! The correct answer to whether you should own Ethereum directly or not depends on the specific situation. For example, direct investment into Ethereum isn't a viable choice for people with Roth IRA or retirement money. For taxable accounts, however, direct investment into Ethereum is a definite choice. You also get the flexibility of 24/7 liquidity whereas an exchange traded product like ETHE will have its liquidity limited to U.S. stock market hours. The security of Ethereum is another big consideration. Some investors may not want to deal with the safety/security aspects of holding their coins in a digital wallet or online exchange like Coinbase. They may opt for a solution like ETHE which deals with the security and storage of coins, but charges a fee for that benefit. Bottom line: There's many variables to the decision of whether to invest in Ethereum directly or via a derivative like ETHE. Good to see you again amigo, Ron

Super good video
Is ETHE’s semi-annual spike going to happen soon?
My vote is for $BLOK
Thank you Sergio for weighing in! Ron #ETFBattles
ETHE is great, in my experience.
Great info, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
BLOK for me, biweekly 👍

@@etfguide Thanks a bunch. Since it was crypto related I was thinking hardware wallet vs brokerage firm. I understand now.
Dave is hilarious
...and totally unpredictable. He keeps everybody on their toes for sure. Best, Ron #ETFBattles
What is that 2xAMZN stock?
You have FNGO and FNGZ fop the 2x leveraged ETNs. Here's the link with more details: www.bmoetn.com/Home/FANG%20ETNs
It looks like FNGU is in the lead right now. 😂
4th!!
5th!

@@etfguide Great answer! Thanks! I love your channel. It helps me a lot in my investments decisions.
I made a lot more money via ETHE than ETH.

I bought FNGU at 100, my goal is 500, maybe 1,000😂
BLOK hasn't been growing over the last few months.
How many times has the guy been called by HR? BLOK is accessible to masses. ETHE is not.
Steve: Both BLOK and ETHE are exchange listed, exchange traded and freely available to the masses. Best, Ron #ETFBattles
@@etfguide Thanks I think I anchored on the comment about ethereum price instead of ETHE price
