CanADA’s first blockchain-based fund or blockchain ETF is now officially on the market. Harvest Portfolios Group Inc., an independent investment management company, has received approval from the Ontario Securities Commission to launch the Blockchain Technologies ETF (Ticker:HBLK) on the Toronto Stock Exchange starting next week.

The goal of the HBLK fund is to replicate the performance of the Harvest Blockchain Technologies Index — an in-house index that tracks the performance of North American issuers in both the large-cap blockchain segment and the emerging blockchain segment.
