Investing In Cannabis ETFs For 2022
Are you searching for the best marijuana stocks to buy in 2022? The greatest cannabis stocks have seen major market declines for more than a year. Delays in federal cannabis legislation in the United States are one of the main factors behind these decreases. In the last several months, new moves in the House to enact federal marijuana legalization have begun. The MORE Act was passed by the House in May, and the SAFE Banking Act is also circulating in Congress for another attempt to establish cannabis banking. In principle, the SAFE Banking Act would be a significant gain for the cannabis business, which is already experiencing a rise in dispensary robberies due to its reliance on cash.
At the present time, most of these top US marijuana stocks are not permitted to trade on major US stock exchanges such as the Nasdaq and the NYSE due to current government regulation. Instead, they now trade on the Over the Counter (OTC) Markets, which have restricted accessibility to institutional and new retail investors. Larger investing institutions seldom trade OTC stocks, and the fastest-growing retail trading platforms, such as Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOOD) and WeBull, also avoid them. However, marijuana ETFs provide a chance to invest in some of these businesses.
Marijuana ETFs 2022
Marijuana exchange-traded funds (ETFs) allow investors to obtain exposure to cannabis companies that are not yet offered on larger exchanges. In general, a cannabis ETF will follow a certain index, sector, commodity, or other asset and trade like a regular stock on the stock exchange. It’s critical to investigate marijuana ETFs and their market performance before investing in them. Finding the best cannabis ETFs that hold the companies you want to invest in will allow you to buy throughout the cannabis sector with just one position. As we continue seeing market declines in May let’s look at 4 top marijuana ETFs for your watchlist in 2022.
