Top ETFDB Stories for June Touch on SpaceX IPO, Current Income, & More
June saw strong performance in terms of readership across content hubs on ETF Database. The hottest topics ranged from news stemming from the SpaceX IPO to details related to the methodologies underlying certain ETFs.
SpaceX Shares Land in ETF Portfolios
Several ETFs have added exposure to Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX) after the aerospace giant completed the largest initial public offering in market history. Trading on the Nasdaq, SpaceX surged 19% from its initial $135 offering price to close at $160.95 per share, notching a historic $2.1 trillion valuation.
BLOK's Top Stocks for May Target AI Data Center Growth
When advisors and investors think about cryptocurrency, “volatility” is typically the first word that comes to mind. However, the digital asset space has also delivered notable bright spots recently, including the expansion into AI infrastructure and a strong performance throughout the month of May.
BLOK: Still Diversified, But Bitcoin Now Matters - And That's A Risk
Amplify Blockchain Technology ETF is downgraded to Hold due to increased bitcoin exposure and lack of near-term catalysts. BLOK's Bitcoin-linked exposure has risen from ~30% to ~40%, reducing its previous diversification edge and increasing reliance on crypto market direction. AI and infrastructure diversification remain, but growth levers in these segments appear saturated and rangebound, limiting upside potential.
Industry Experts Share How to Reshape Portfolios With Alternatives
For decades, the 60/40 portfolio was the gold standard for balanced investing. However, as correlations between stocks and bonds fluctuate and traditional safe havens face new pressures, advisors are looking toward alternatives to increase portfolio efficiency.
BLOK's January Winners Point to the Future of Computing
Pure-play miners remain tightly tethered to the price of bitcoin. Still, a growing subset of mining companies is beginning to trade on a different narrative: high-performance computing and AI infrastructure.
BLOK Breaks Away From Traditional Tech Early in 2026
It's still early in the year, but a noticeable split is already forming within the technology sector. While the Magnificent Seven and legacy tech leaders have logged respectable gains, they're being decisively outpaced by companies tied to the blockchain and digital asset ecosystem.
Blockchain ETF BLOK Has Smashed Performance Averages
The whole world may be talking about AI nonstop right now, but that doesn't mean other tech segments are falling off. Some are actually outperforming.
BLOK: High-Tech, High-Growth, Less Heartburn
Amplify Blockchain Technology ETF (BLOK) is a long-term Buy, offering strong diversification and consistent outperformance among crypto-themed ETFs. BLOK's portfolio balances core blockchain companies with exposure to bitcoin miners, exchanges, fintech, and AI-adjacent large caps, reducing single-stock and bitcoin price risk. Compared to peers, BLOK delivers superior risk-reward, lower volatility, and thematic diversification, making it a standout choice for crypto ecosystem exposure.
BLOK: Maybe The Optimal Blockchain Strategy, But Volatility May Be Too Risky For Many
Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF offers concentrated exposure to blockchain and bitcoin-related companies, with top holdings like Coinbase, Robinhood, and MicroStrategy driving performance. The BLOK ETF benefits from strong liquidity and recent outperformance versus peers, but charges a relatively high fee and is not ideal for income-focused investors due to variability from period-to-period. Significant risks include high concentration in top holdings, volatility tied to bitcoin prices, and industry-specific financial reporting challenges.
BLOK Benefitting From Bitcoin's Boom, Reiterate Buy
Bitcoin and BLOK have shown strong performance, but August and September are typically weak months, suggesting caution in the near term. Despite seasonal risks, I maintain a buy rating on BLOK, supported by its favorable valuation, high momentum, and constructive technical chart. BLOK offers diversification across growth, value, size, and geography, with a reasonable P/E and attractive PEG ratio, though it remains a high-risk, concentrated ETF.
Midyear Symposium Covers Thematic Comeback
Thematic ETFs might have fallen somewhat out of favor in the era of nonstop megacap growth, but as that era comes to a close, investors should explore their options. As thematics become more relevant, identifying the themes that will shape the future is critical.
