IBIT, GLD Flows Stand Out as $38B Moves Into ETF Assets
U.S.-listed ETFs raked in $37.7 billion of inflows during the week ending Friday, June 20, even with markets closed midweek for the Juneteenth holiday. The surge brings year-to-date inflows to $512 billion, putting 2025 on track to be another trillion-dollar year for inflows.
U.S. equity ETFs led the way with $18.4 billion of inflows, followed by $11.8 billion into international equity ETFs. U.S. and international fixed-income ETFs added just over $2 billion apiece.
While the headline numbers were eye-catching, the data were muddied by what appeared to be a flurry of tax-related “heartbeat” trades—temporary inflows and outflows often used to minimize capital gains. A standout example was the Invesco S&P 500 Quality ETF (SPHQ), which saw $3.7 billion in inflows likely to be reversed soon.
IBIT, GLD Stand Out
Still, not all of last week’s flows were noise. Two of the top 10 inflow recipients were likely genuine: the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which pulled in $1.4 billion, and the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), which added $1.1 billion. Both benefited from safe-haven demand amid escalating geopolitical tensions involving Israel and Iran.
On the outflow side, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), the iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD) and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (DIA) saw the largest redemptions.
