APRIL 14, 2021 [View in browser]( HOW TO PROTECT AND GROW YOUR BUSINESS AND INVESTMENTS NOW Don’t overlook today’s other big crypto investing debut. One of Wednesday’s biggest attention-grabbers is bound to be the public-markets debut of Coinbase ([COIN]( a cryptocurrency exchange that allows people to buy and sell bitcoin, etherium and other digital currencies. But if you’re an investor looking to [ride the crypto wave without directly investing in the currencies yourself]( you’ll have a second new option today. Wednesday also marks the launch of the VanEck Vectors Digital Transformation ETF ([DAPP]( -- a tightly indexed portfolio of 25 stocks that derive (or have the potential to derive) at least half of revenues from digital asset projects, or have at least half of assets invested in digital assets and digital asset projects. For instance, top holdings include Galaxy Digital Holdings ([BRPHF]( a Canadian asset management firm that connects institutional investors with digital currencies, and Square ([SQ]( a financial services company that has started allowing customers to buy and sell digital currencies, and which owns $240 million in bitcoin itself. While investors simply seeking moonshots might be better served picking individual digital-asset stocks or investing directly in cryptocurrencies, those looking to dip a toe in while mitigating risk might be better served with DAPP and similar funds. --------------------------------------------------------------- SPONSORED CONTENT FROM SMARTASSET [7 Mistakes Everyone Makes When Hiring a Financial Advisor]( Working with a financial advisor is a crucial part of any retirement plan, but most people make these avoidable mistakes when hiring one.

Airlines, cruise lines, hotels and other businesses that cater to vacationers took a terrible beating because so much travel effectively shut down. Now, with vaccination campaigns in full swing, people are starting to take trips again, which bodes well for the travel business. At the same time, a new industry, space tourism, is set to take off by catering to ultrawealthy adventure seekers. According to last week’s issue of The Kiplinger Letter, 2021 could be the year that suborbital flights start carrying paying customers. Both Virgin Galactic ([SPCE]( and Blue Origin have launches planned for late 2021. Virgin Galactic says it has 600 customers already booked for flights that will provide a few minutes of weightlessness, at a cost of $250,000 per seat. Space tourism could be a multibillion-dollar industry by 2030. Free download, [The Kiplinger Letter's Forecast](. No information required from you.
