According to Eric Balchunas, active ETFs have attracted 40% of net flows in 2025 despite comprising just 10% of total ETF assets. Additionally, nearly 90% of all new ETF launches this year are active, enabling active ETFs to surpass passive ETFs in terms of total launches. This significant capital inflow and surge in active ETF launches suggest a shift in investor preference toward active strategies, which could impact liquidity and volatility in related sectors, including cryptocurrency-linked ETFs. Traders should monitor this trend, as increased active management may lead to more dynamic portfolio adjustments and could influence market correlations with crypto assets (Source: Eric Balchunas on Twitter, June 12, 2025).

According to @SirYappityyapp, ETF launches in April 2025 increased by 132% year-over-year, marking record monthly growth for the third consecutive month. The market is now 50% ahead of last year's record pace and could see up to 1,000 ETF launches this year. Notably, 88% of new ETFs are actively managed and 68% incorporate derivatives, indicating heightened risk appetite and innovation in investment products. For crypto traders, this surge in ETF activity, especially those using derivatives, signals increased institutional interest in alternative assets, potentially boosting liquidity and volatility in related crypto markets (Source: Eric Balchunas via Twitter, May 9, 2025).
