China’s first 50 billion yuan chip-focused ETF has been launched as AI computing power surges and domestic substitution accelerates in the semiconductor sector, according to market data from Wind.

The Kechuang Chip ETF managed by Harvest Fund has reached a size of 50.343 billion yuan, with inflows exceeding 10 billion yuan so far this year. The fund had previously surpassed 30 billion yuan and 40 billion yuan in late 2025, highlighting sustained investor interest.

Entering 2026, the ETF’s growth momentum remains strong, making it the largest industry-themed ETF in China focused on technology and chip innovation. Analysts noted that investors continue to favor sectors such as gold and semiconductors, with 18 ETFs now exceeding 50 billion yuan in size across the market.

The milestone underscores the rapid expansion of China’s capital market offerings in strategic technology sectors, driven by both domestic demand for semiconductor self-sufficiency and the ongoing AI technology boom.
