A combination of sustained commodity and crypto ETF inflow saw the U.S. ETF industry hit a record $12.7 trillion in assets. In September 2025 , the top 10 U.S. exchange-traded products added $803 million in new assets. The biggest inflow came from VXX fund, which gained $272.99 million as investors sought protection against rising market volatility. Crypto ETF inflow followed.
A report published on 14 October 2025, by the ETF and ETP research firm ETFGI, highlighted that US ETF assets rose 22.7% from $10.35 trillion at the end of 2024 to $12.7 trillion.
In September alone, ETFs pulled in $152. 5 billion, marking the second highest monthly inflow ever. Year-to-date inflows reached $951.27 billion, which has already edged out last year’s record of $740.78 billion.
Moreover, ETFs have now seen net inflows for 41 straight months, showing strong investor interest despite rising rates and market uncertainty, with both institutional and retail investors continuing to favor ETFs as their go-to investment vehicle.

Grayscale’s Bitcoin (BTC) Mini Trust pulled in $140.66 million, while its Ethereum (ETH) counterpart added $78.54 million. Together they attracted nearly $220 million, showing strong demand for regulated crypto exposure.
Gold also remained a popular hedge, with VanEck Merk Gold ETF adding $101.66 million. Meanwhile, commodity funds like copper (CPER) and natural gas (BOIL) saw inflows driven by rising interest in raw materials.

The day’s trading volume hit $3.59 billion and net assets totaled $28.01 billion, which is about 5% of ETH’s market cap.
Both assets however still remain well below their all-time highs, with recent volatility caused by trade tensions between the U.S. and China.
