Schwab Crypto Thematic ETF
Summary
Objective
The fund’s goal is to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of an index that is designed to deliver global exposure to companies that may benefit from the development or utilization of cryptocurrencies (including bitcoin) and other digital assets, and the business activities connected to blockchain and other distributed ledger technology.
Highlights
- Low-cost fund offering intra-day trading and potential tax efficiency
- Serves as a complement/diversifier to core exposures
- Potential to benefit from the increased adoption of cryptocurrencies both as a store of value and medium of exchange without owning cryptocurrencies like bitcoin directly and other digital assets
- Provides exposure to the growing crypto ecosystem through investing in companies that are focused on servicing the cryptocurrency market, including but not limited to: mining, trading, banking, or implementing applications of blockchain technology
As of July 8, 2025 the Schwab Crypto Thematic Index Methodology has updated the Index Observation Day when coinciding with an eligible exchange’s holiday.
Please see the Schwab Crypto Thematic Index Methodology Document for details.

After tax returns are based on highest Federal income tax bracket and depend on the investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown, and the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. State and local taxes are not included. Pre-liquidation figures include taxes on fund's distributions of dividends and capital gains. Tax Cost Ratio represents the percentage-point reduction in returns that results from Federal income taxes (before shares in the fund are sold, and assuming the highest Federal tax bracket).
