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).
