Uus Metaverse ETF jõuab USA turule

Subversiivne kapital has launched a metaverse ETF that is bearish on the largest company in the space.

The actively managed Subversive Metaverse ETF (PUNK), set to begin trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange Thursday, invests in companies worldwide that support the infrastructure and applications of the metaverse. In a twist, the ETF intends to short Meta Platforms, the company formerly known as Facebook. 

PUNK’s largest competitor, the Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF (META), takes the opposite view. Its top holding is Meta, maintaining an allocation of 8.7%. Launched in June, the fund has $822 million of assets under management. 

Subversive Capital Portfolio Manager Christian Cooper said in a statement that the metaverse is becoming disproportionately associated with “overpowering” companies, such as Meta Platforms. 

“Our mission here at Subversive is to question the integrity of the status quo … and build a foundation for people to appreciate these emerging sectors just as much as we do,” Cooper said. “We want to make sure this industry develops, without getting ‘Zucked-up’, from those who see the true potential of this space.”

Subversive Capital did not immediately return Blockworks’ request comment.
