Summary:
ETF investors poured $19.2 billion into U.S.-listed funds during the week ending Friday, July 18, continuing a solid year for inflows. The latest data, which included strong flows into Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, brings year-to-date net inflows to $613 billion, putting 2025 on track to potentially set a new annual record for the sector.
Equities were the biggest draw once again, with U.S. equity ETFs pulling in $9.8 billion and international equity ETFs attracting another $5.3 billion. Currency ETFs also saw a surge in demand, raking in $5 billion.
The table below shows the top 5 flows across the market.
Top Five Inflows
| Ticker | Fund Name | Flows ($MM) |
|---|---|---|
| VOO | Vanguard S&P 500 ETF | 2600.50 |
| SPLG | SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF | 1596.40 |
| IBIT | iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF | 1030.10 |
| IEMG | iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF | 977.10 |
| XLF | Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund | 740.50 |
Meanwhile, U.S. fixed-income ETFs posted outflows of $627 million, marking a rare weekly setback after months of consistent inflows.
Topping the weekly inflow leaderboard was the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), which gathered $4.2 billion as the S&P 500 hovered near record highs.
Taking the No. 2 spot was the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) with $3 billion of inflows. The ETF now boasts nearly $20 billion in year-to-date inflows and $88 billion in total assets under management, cementing its status as investors’ preferred vehicle for crypto exposure.
Also making a splash was the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA), which attracted $1.5 billion in weekly inflows. The ETF has brought in $4.5 billion in 2025 and sits at $8.5 billion in AUM. The surge comes as Ether prices jumped to around $3,800, driven by a mix of catch-up buying relative to Bitcoin and increased demand linked to the stablecoin ecosystem and Ether treasury firms.
Though Ether is still below its 2021 all-time high of $4,800, investor interest appears to be ramping up.
Among non-crypto ETFs, the standout was the Simplify Government Money Market ETF (SBIL), which pulled in $1.2 billion despite launching just last week. The new fund adds to the growing lineup of ultra-short-duration ETFs that offer investors cash-like exposure. Also in the top 10 were the iShares Broad USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (USHY) with $576 million of inflows and the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLK) with $543 million, reflecting continued interest in high-yield credit and large-cap tech.
