This ETF or actually ETN (Exchange Traded Note) does not belong to any group. Reason to place this ETN in each group so that all ETF customers can take note of it. Maybe now it looks like I'm going to invest in cryptos. No, I've never done anything with cryptos myself and I'm not going to do it. So why did you buy this Ethereum crypto ETN? I expect NFTs to become very large. Now it is quite difficult to buy exactly that NFT that will generate a lot of money later on. Too big a risk for me. Nevertheless, I want to be able to profit from the great success that these NFTs are likely to become. After research I found out that almost all those NFTs use the Ethereum blockchain and have to be paid with Ethereum. The reason is that the Ethereum blockchain is extremely suitable for NFTs. The Bitcoin blockchain, for example, is not. Ethereum is currently the absolute market leader among NFTs as a means of payment with more than 95%. There will be alternatives. But it is likely that Ethereum will remain the market leader. So almost everyone who buys an NFT has to buy Ethereum first. If those NFTs become a success, Ethereum will rise sharply due to all those purchases. And that's the reason I'm buying this ETN. But there's more. The energy consumption of most cryptos is huge. Ethereum has the solution. With “the Merge” they will switch to a new type of blockchain in the course of this year. The energy consumption can then be about 1000 times lower and the transaction costs can therefore also be significantly reduced. So with investing in this Ethereum ETN I kill 2 birds with 1 stone. This year, Ethereum will become an extremely low-power crypto that will beat Bitcoin. And the main reason for me; I have a nice spot on the just departing NFT train. Two things are important for a significant increase in this ETN: NFTs must become a great success and even better a hype. Ethereum should remain one of the most widely used means of payment for buying an NFT.

Russia is affected by the low oil price. Trump and Putin have already discussed solutions. The Americans, the Russians and OPEC want a higher oil price. The only problem is that, to date, not all oil countries are willing to limit production. To enforce widely supported production restrictions, Russia and Saudi Arabia have started producing so much that the oil price has fallen sharply. It will compel countries to negotiate production restrictions. If production restrictions are imposed, the oil price will rise. When the coronavirus is over in a while, the demand for oil will also increase again. So in the long term a higher oil price and that is good for Russia.

This ETF has fallen with other exchanges because of the corona virus. However, the coronavirus is not very common in Africa. Because of the warmer weather, the chances of major outbreaks are also small. Naturally, African exports suffer from less demand from abroad. A number of African countries are very dependent on oil. Still, as long as there are no major coronavirus outbreaks, the impact on the African economy will be not too bad.
