2024 is shaping up to be a record year for ETF inflows—and with aggregate inflows topping the $1 trillion mark for the first time, individual funds are also breaking records.  
  
Take the most popular U.S.-listed exchange-traded fund of 2024, the [**Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (VOO)**](/voo): its $123 billion of inflows are the largest ever for any individual ETF in a calendar year.  
  
To put that in context, VOO had less than that in total assets under management as recently as April 2020.   
  
Now it has almost $600 billion in AUM, making it the second-largest ETF behind the [**SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)**](/spy) with $647 billion.

## Low-Cost S&amp;P 500 Index ETFs

This year, many investors have been content to ride the market rally with cheap, low-cost index funds like VOO. Why get fancy when VOO and other S&amp;P 500 ETFs are up nearly 29% this year (on top of a 26% gain last year)?  
  
In addition to VOO, other S&amp;P 500 funds like the [**iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (IVV)**](/ivv) and the [**SPDR Portfolio S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPLG)**](/splg) are among this year’s most popular ETFs, with inflows of $36 billion and $20 billion, respectively, in the year-to-date period through Dec. 17.  
  
A lot of money has also gone into broader stock market index funds, like the [**Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF (VTI)**](/vti), which has inflows of $31 billion; as well as broad market funds that slice the market in different ways, like the [**Invesco S&amp;P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP)**](/rsp), with inflows of $16 billion, and the [**Vanguard Growth Index Fund ETF (VUG)**](/vug), with inflows of $18 billion.  
  
The tech-heavy [**Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)**](/qqq) has also been a hit, with inflows of $27 billion; as has its cheaper iteration, the [**Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQQM)**](/qqqm), with inflows of $13 billion.  
  
The Nasdaq-100 is outperforming the S&amp;P 500 slightly this year, 32% versus 29% (last year it gained a whopping 55%, more than double the return for the S&amp;P 500).  
  
One of the lesser-known ETFs among this year’s most popular is the [**iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF)**](/dynf).  
  
The fund, which has inflows of $12 billion this year, holds a basket of large and midcap stocks based on factors (quality, value, small size, low volatility and momentum). The fund’s managers decide which investment style to emphasize based on “forward-looking insights.”

## A Rocky Year For Bonds

While stock ETFs dominate this year’s list of most popular ETFs, a few bond funds managed to make an appearance.  
  
The [**iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG)**](/agg), the [**Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND)**](/bnd), and the [**iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF (SGOV)**](/sgov), each had inflows of more than $11 billion.  
  
Bonds have had a rocky year. AGG was up as much as 4% in January but gave up all of those gains, and then some, in October, falling to a year-to-date loss of 3.3% before rebounding in November and December.   
  
The ETF was last trading with a nearly 6% annuall gain.

## IBIT Leads Wildly Popular Crypto ETFs

No piece on the most popular ETFs of the year would be complete without a mention of crypto ETFs.  
  
After getting approval for trade in the U.S. in January, demand for spot bitcoin ETFs has been astronomical.  
  
The [**iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT)**](/ibit) is the second-most-popular ETF of the year, with inflows of $36 billion, while the [**Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC)**](/fbtc) is the 13th-most-popular fund, with inflows of $13 billion.   
  
Clearly, investors have been wholeheartedly embracing ETFs as an easy way to get exposure to bitcoin. Assets under management in spot bitcoin ETFs are now solidly above $100 billion.
