NFTZ
The First NFT Focused ETF
NFTZ: Invest in the Digital Economy with NFTs, Blockchain and the NFT Marketplace
NFTs are already challenging paradigms of ownership, property and value. In their current form they enable true ownership of digital goods, releasing creativity into the virtual world as a cooperative venture between parties and sparking a new creator economy.
The blockchain technology underlying NFTs has the potential to go even further. It supports trustless peer to peer transactions with no third-party involvement, paving the way for a new economic structure and construction of property rights. It facilitates smart contracts, which are self executing contracts based on predetermined conditions, allowing users to efficiently and automatically transfer value upon transactions. Blockchain’s decentralized architecture lies behind cryptocurrencies, DeFi (Decentralized Finance) and a whole new way of thinking about art, culture, business and social cooperation.
The virtual sky is the limit for NFTs and the blockchain-powered NFT marketplace.
NFTZ is an NFT ETF with relevant thematic exposure to a range of NFT stocks, involved in Non-Fungible Tokens , blockchain and cryptocurrency – together forming the ecosystem in which NFTs thrive. It seeks to track the performance before fees and expenses of a rules-based, weighted Index of such equities.

Reasons to Invest in NFTZ
The virtual sky has no limit
NFTs provide true digital ownership of unique virtual and physical items. Their scope is as broad as human creativity, unconstrained by the natural world.
First-mover advantage
NFTZ is the first NFT ETF, offering simple and convenient access to a sometimes-high entry-level sector.
NFT Stocks
NFTZ targets companies involved in NFTs, blockchain, and cryptocurrency ecosystems and communities. Together, these comprise aspects of an NFT marketplace set to take the world by storm.
NFTs are just the beginning
Blockchain supports trustless peer to peer exchanges with no third-party involvement. This has the potential to change how we live, do business, pursue leisure and even govern.
NFT stands for non-fungible token. Each NFT is the digital representation of a specific, unique item like a picture, song, or even the first Tweet. Powered by blockchain technology, NFTs prove transparent and immutable ownership which has major implications across all sectors. NFTs use smart contracts, which are self executing contracts based on predetermined conditions, to efficiently transfer value upon transactions. For example, NFT artists automatically receive a percentage of sales every time their art is bought and sold.
NFTZ launched on November 23rd, 2021
Close to $6 billion was spent on non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, during the third quarter of 2021,[1] and Google trends data in September showed that interest in NFTs surpassed that in cryptocurrency.[2] But while NFTs enable true digital ownership, releasing creativity into the virtual world as a cooperative venture between artist and fan; the NFT explosion is merely the current expression of a disruptive potential that could transform how we interact, live, do business and even govern.
Blockchain supports trustless peer to peer transactions, paving the way for a new economic structure and construction of property rights. Its decentralized architecture lies behind cryptocurrencies, DeFi (an umbrella term for financial services on public blockchains) and a whole new way of thinking about art, culture, business and social cooperation.
NFT stocks, blockchain and cryptocurrency ecosystems comprise the NFT marketplace. Defiance brings the retail and institutional investor access to a sector positioned to reconstruct our understanding and practice of ownership, property and value.
