Further expanding on its AI-centric ETF offerings, KraneShares announced the launch of its newest ETF on June 5, 2025. The KraneShares Global Humanoid and Embodied Intelligence Index ETF (KOID) now trades on the Nasdaq. The next evolution in AI robotics has arrived, driven by some of the largest names in the industry. Unitree Robotics, maker of the popular “dog” robot (the Go2), also offers a range of humanoid robots in its G1 series. Tesla offers the Optimus, and a number of other humanoid robots are currently in development and on the market. “It’s very likely that humanoid robots are going to be robots that we can deploy into the world relatively easily, and this is the first robot that really has a chance to achieve the high volume and technology scale necessary to advance technology,” Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, remarked on Optimus recently to Bloomberg. “I think this is likely the next multitrillion dollar industry.” Morgan Stanley believes the market for humanoid robots could reach more than $5 trillion by 2050 according to the firm’s research. They theorize that more than 1 billion human-like robots could be in use by then, with adoption picking up strongly towards the end of the 2030s and beyond. KOID seeks to capture this momentum and potential of the next generation of robots. Humanoid robots combine a physical robot with AI integration. This allows them to learn, sense, and interact with the world around them. KraneShares explains that they encompass a subset of the embodied intelligence ecosystem. These human-like robots are specifically designed to exist in spaces designed for people.
