BREAKING: US-listed ETF assets under management (AUM) are up to a record $15.6 trillion.
AUM in US-listed ETFs has doubled over the last 30 months.
Investors have allocated more than +$1 trillion to these funds year-to-date, nearly doubling the previous record for the same period, set in 2025.
This puts the industry on track to exceed +$2 trillion in annual inflows for the first time in history, 33% above last year's all-time high.
In June alone, ETFs attracted +$193 billion, the 2nd-largest monthly inflow on record.
This was particularly driven by demand for US mega-caps, semiconductor, AI, and South Korea-related funds.
The US ETF boom is accelerating.

Do you know in 2014, Ukraine needed a loan?
There were two offers on the table:
The IMF dangled $15 billion,but with strings attached:
-Scrap the ban on private land ownership.
-Slash pensions and subsidies,classic austerity.
Russia also offered $15 billion,no strings, no neoliberal gutting of the economy.
President Viktor Yanukovych picked the Russian deal.
So what happened?
Washington instigated a coup, ousted him, and installed a new puppet regime.
The new government bent the knee to the IMF, signed off on austerity program and opened the door to privatization.
Now, massive chunks of Ukrainian land,about a third, are in the hands of foreign giants like BlackRock.
And just for the record, BlackRock is the former employer of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
Coincidence?

FBI chief Kash Patel pulled back to the White House
He'd planned a weekend in Chicago to see his girlfriend, then dropped it fast after senior Trump officials called him in.
No word on why, but the mood is bad. Some were annoyed he'd even leave D.C. with the Iran fight heating up and reported threats against Trump going around.
And it's not the first time. His allies have reportedly stepped in more than once lately to help fix his standing with the White House.
When your own side keeps stepping in to save you, the job is already on shaky ground.

Trump was so far ahead in the 2020 election that Biden had to shut down the count and cheat on top of already cheating in order to win.
A Telit 3G/4G wireless internet chip made in Taiwan was discovered in 2020 election machines, which has connections to the CCP.
The voting machine tapes and logs showed modem transmissions, sending and receiving election data during the election outside of the country.
Trump was so far ahead that Biden had to shut down 5 key states to cheat on top of cheating to clear the margin of victory. This is why election data was sent to outside servers in order to manipulate the count and the vote.
Pennsylvania: Trump ahead by 700,000 votes, 75% of votes reported before pauses, like in Philadelphia.
Michigan: Trump ahead by 400,000 votes, 80% of votes reported before pauses, like in Wayne County.
Georgia: Trump ahead by 350,000 votes, 79% of votes reported before pauses in places like Fulton County.
Wisconsin: Trump ahead by 120,000 votes, 85-90% of votes reported before pauses, a large batch all for Biden in Milwaukee then shifted the count.
North Carolina: Trump ahead by 80,000 votes, 94% of votes reported before any pauses. Counting continued with mail-in ballots until November 12th.

A deeply conservative, ultra-Orthodox group known as Satmar Hasidic Jews, who moved to Brooklyn, NY after the Holocaust are experiencing widespread poverty and yet there is a social rule that lives amongst the women. An unwritten social expectation forces women and girls to dress in high-end luxury designer labels like Gucci and Prada. These outfits often cost upward of $400, or roughly 11% of a family's monthly rent. To maintain this appearance of respectable wealth (balebetish), families make devastating trade-offs, including shutting off their household heating during freezing New York winters. This extreme material obsession exists in total defiance of both their limited financial reality and their own religious leaders' public, desperate pleas for modesty.
To dissect the intense psychological weight of this pressure, researchers recruited ordinary Satmar women to purposefully violate this rigid luxury standard for a single day by sending them out into their neighborhoods wearing inexpensive, completely plain dresses.
