If you're looking for an easy way to invest your hard-earned money, then exchange traded funds (ETFs) could be worth considering.

This is because rather than deciding on which individual shares to put your money into, ETFs allow you to invest in a large group of shares through just a single investment.

With that in mind, here are three ETFs that are proving to be popular with investors right now:

BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)

The first ETF for investors to look at is the BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF. This ETF tracks the performance of an index comprising ~50 of the largest technology and online retail shares in Asia (excluding Japan). BetaShares notes that due to its younger, tech-savvy population, Asia is surpassing the West in terms of technological adoption. As a result, the sector is expected to remain a growth sector for some time to come. Among the ETF's holdings are Alibaba, Baidu, JD.com, Pinduoduo, Samsung, Taiwan Semiconductor, and Tencent.

BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX: CRYP)

Another ETF to look at is the BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF. BetaShares notes that this very high risk ETF provides "picks and shovels" exposure to the companies that are building crypto mining equipment, crypto trading venues, and other key services that allow the crypto economy to grow. At present, the ETF is invested in up to 36 crypto leaders such as Coinbase, Riot Blockchain, and Microstrategy. It also owns shares with indirect exposure such as Block/Square, PayPal, and Robinhood.

ETFS Battery Tech & Lithium ETF (ASX: ACDC)

A final ETF to look at is the ETFS Battery Tech & Lithium ETF. The fund manager, ETFS, notes that this ETF offers investors exposure to the energy storage and production megatrend. This includes companies involved in the supply chain and production for battery technology and lithium mining. It notes that demand for energy storage is being driven by the movement towards emissions reduction and renewable energy, which bodes well for companies included in the fund. This includes AMG Advanced Metallurgical Group, Lockheed Martin, and Australian lithium miner Pilbara Minerals Ltd (ASX: PLS).
