- Amplify Blockchain Technology ETF (BLOK) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks total return by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of companies actively involved in the development, utilization, or support of blockchain technologies; these include firms deriving direct revenue from blockchain deployment (core holdings, approximately 70% of the portfolio), companies partnering with or investing in such firms (secondary holdings, approximately 30%), and participants in blockchain consortia. The fund provides exposure to blockchain applications underpinning cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, real-world asset tokenization, secure digital ledgers for transaction recording and asset tracking across business networks, and related sectors such as cryptocurrency exchanges, mining operations, and financial services platforms; top holdings as of late 2025 typically feature companies like Coinbase Global Inc., Robinhood Markets Inc., Galaxy Digital Holdings, Core Scientific Inc., and Cipher Mining Inc., with approximately 52-57 total holdings spanning large, mid, and small-cap global equities. BLOK operates without direct investment in cryptocurrencies themselves but offers indirect exposure through its portfolio, targeting investors interested in the blockchain ecosystem across technology, financial services, and data-sharing industries. Launched on January 17, 2018, and listed on NYSE Arca (CUSIP: 032108607), BLOK carries a total expense ratio of 0.73% and is managed by a team including Michael Venuto, Charles Ragauss, and Daniel Weiskopf under the investment advisory of Amplify Investments LLC (sponsored by Amplify ETF Trust) with Tidal Investments LLC as sub-adviser. Headquartered in Lisle, Illinois, Amplify ETFs—the issuer overseeing BLOK—manages over $16.6 billion in assets across its suite of actively managed and index-based ETFs as of November 2025, with operations focused on U.S. investors through national distribution channels. In recent developments, Amplify ETFs completed the acquisition of ETF Managers Group (ETFMG) assets in January 2024, adding over $3.7 billion in AUM across 14 ETFs and expanding its product lineup to nearly $9.1 billion at the time; the firm launched three new ETFs in 2023-2024 amid this integration, enhancing thematic offerings in underserved market segments. BLOK itself underwent a name change from Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF to its current branding around October 13, 2025, reflecting refined focus on blockchain and crypto trends; the fund achieved 60.36% NAV year-to-date return as of October 31, 2025 (345.77% since inception), earned a 5-star Morningstar rating among digital assets peers, and was recognized when Amplify was named "Best Crypto-Linked ETF Issuer ($100M-$1B)" by ETF Express in 2025 for BLOK's pioneering role.
