According to Eric Balchunas, ETFs charging 10 basis points or less, often considered 'cheap beta', have attracted only half of 2025's net flows despite representing 60% of total ETF assets. This shift highlights the growing influence of legacy active funds, buffer strategies, thematic 'hot sauce' products, and especially Bitcoin ETFs (BTC), which are increasingly driving capital allocation. As Bitcoin ETFs gain traction, crypto market participants should monitor changing investor preferences and inflow dynamics for potential impact on BTC price and trading volumes (source: Eric Balchunas via Twitter, June 12, 2025).

According to Compounding Quality on Twitter, the latest ETF Cheat Sheet outlines major ETF types, including sector, thematic, leveraged, inverse, and commodity ETFs, and highlights their specific trading characteristics and risk profiles (source: @QCompounding, June 8, 2025). Traders can use this sheet to identify optimal ETF strategies for market rotation, volatility hedging, and exposure management. The growing popularity of crypto-linked ETFs, as noted in the cheat sheet, continues to deepen the connection between traditional equity markets and digital assets, influencing both liquidity and volatility patterns across crypto markets.
