The US ETF market is playing out a story of rapid growth.

The 2025 numbers say it all: investors poured $1.5 trillion into ETFs, an increase of $400 billion compared to last year. This marks the third consecutive year that ETF inflows have exceeded $200 billion.

Even more astonishing, the amount invested in ETFs this year alone has surpassed the combined total of 2022 and 2023. This has directly led to the US ETF industry's market capitalization exploding by over $3 trillion in 2025—the largest annual nominal increase in history, bar none.

The final figure is even more impressive: the global ETF assets under management have surpassed a record $13.4 trillion.

There are no signs of this momentum slowing down. The ETF boom train is still accelerating.

1.5 trillion poured in, but take a look at which wallets are moving behind the scenes... The real big players have already left footprints on the chain. --- The numbers look good, but the flow of funds is the real truth. Where did this money come from, and where is it ultimately going? No one seems to care. --- A record 13.4 trillion, but suspiciously, all the growth is concentrated in this year. Seems a bit deliberate... --- Three consecutive years of surpassing 200 billion. Do you think this is investors awakening or just the rotation of the chopped-up retail investors? You can guess. --- An annual increase of 3 trillion... Could it be that some original addresses are just doing internal circulation, making the on-paper numbers look good. --- There must be a fund migration trail behind this wave of enthusiasm, but retail investors will never see when the sleeping wallets wake up. --- The ETF train is accelerating. I just want to know at what price institutions are starting to cut positions. --- Global 13.4 trillion, no matter how loud the hype, it still has to come back on the chain to verify the truth.

1.5 trillion poured in, how many people are betting that it will rise even more behind the scenes? If it drops another 20% this year, these folks will be crying until next year. The "delicious" law is about to make its appearance again.
