Why Invest in a Polkadot ETN?

Polkadot is a next-generation, highly-customizable smart contract platform that provides low cost and interoperability for entrepreneurs looking to build their own blockchains.

What is special about Polkadot?

Polkadot is a next-generation smart contract platform with technological efficiencies that make the establishment and operation of blockchains more practical in the commercial world. Put simply, it offers a compelling combination of interoperability, security, speed and low transaction costs. The result? An 85-90% decline in the cost and effort required to build a new blockchain.

Since launch in May 2020, Polkadot’s market capitalisation has soared, with daily transactions approaching the level of Bitcoin’s. The number of parachains (independent blockchains) linked to Polkadot is also growing quickly, with hundreds of independent projects across decentralized finance, gaming & NFTs.

Explaining the Polkadot ETN

As the Ethereum blockchain ecosystem becomes increasingly congested due to the volume of traffic, a new generation of smart contract platforms has arrived, with the potential to take blockchain’s potential to the next level.

Polkadot’s "proof-of-stake", community-governed blockchain protocol has the key advantage of interoperability. This allows developers to build blockchains quickly and cheaply.

As Polkadot has quickly become a thriving ecosystem of parachains (blockchains), the demand for DOT has increased.

Polkadot ETN tracks the value of DOT and uses the MarketVector Polkadot VWAP Close Index for the calculation of its NAV​.

Main Risk Factors of a Polkadot ETN

Despite all the hype, digital assets are a highly risky investment. Below are key risk factors that need to be considered before making an investment in a Polkadot ETN.

Icon

The trading prices of many digital assets have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may well continue to do so. Digital assets were only introduced within the past decade and regulatory clarity remains elusive in many jurisdictions. Digital assets' value depends on such regulation remaining favorable, as well with the technological capabilities, the development of protocol networks, competition from other digital asset networks and from forks. Volatility can be strongly amplified by transactions from speculative investors, hedge funds and other large investors. You may experience losses if you need to sell your Shares at a time when the price of the underlying digital asset is lower than it was when you made your prior investment. Even if you are able to hold Shares for the long-term, your Shares may never generate a profit. Thus, an investment in a Polkadot ETN can lose money.
