It’s official: 2024 was a record year for ETF inflows. When all was said and done, $1.12 trillion flowed into U.S.-listed exchange-traded funds during the year, almost double the $600 billion of inflows seen in 2022 and 2023, respectively.

2024’s inflows also handily topped the $900 billion from 2021, the previous calendar year record for inflows.

A strong year for U.S. stock market returns motivated investors to push money into ETFs. The S&amp;P 500 surged by 25% in 2024, nearly matching the 26.3% gain from the previous year. It was the first instance of back-to-back gains of 20% or more for the S&amp;P 500 since the late-1990s.

Unsurprisingly, given the strength in U.S. stocks, investors put most of their money to work in stock ETFs.

Two-thirds of all inflows, or more than $750 billion, went into equity ETFs.

Of that, an incredible $113 billion went into the [**Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (VOO)**](/VOO) and another $85 billion went into the [**iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (IVV)**](/IVV).

2024 marked the first time any individual ETF has seen inflows of more than $100 billion in a calendar year.

VOO now has $584 billion in assets under management, putting it within striking distance of overtaking the $626 billion [**SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)**](/SPY) as the world’s largest ETF (SPY had inflows of around $22 billion in 2024).

The strong returns for the S&amp;P 500 were powered by tech stocks like Nvidia Corp. and Apple Inc. Those stocks, which have an even greater presence in the [**Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)**](/QQQ), rode the AI wave to enormous gains in 2024.

QQQ had inflows of almost $24 billion in 2024.

## Fixed Income Lags, Crypto Takes Off

While U.S. stocks celebrated strong returns and inflows, the same can’t be said for fixed-income ETFs.   
  
The iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG) finished the year with just a 1.3% return. A selloff in bonds at the end of the year erased gains from earlier in the year.

Still, despite the tepid returns, investors put $303 billion into fixed-income ETFs, including $21 billion into AGG and almost $19 billion into the [**Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND)**](/BND).

While bonds struggled in 2024, another asset class took off. Cryptocurrency ETFs, which entered a new era with the approval of spot bitcoin ETFs in January 2024, soared while attracting billions of dollars of inflows.

The [**iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT)**](/IBIT) had inflows of more than $37 billion during the year, propelling its AUM to over $50 billion. The price of the ETF doubled in the same period.

Inflows for the category as a whole totaled $38 billion despite $21 billion of outflows from the [**Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC)**](/GBTC). Previously a quasi-closed-end fund, GBTC’s conversion to an ETF spurred massive outflows as arbitrageurs closed their positions and investors swapped the fund for cheaper alternatives.

                googletag.display('js-dfp-tag-in_article_unit');
            });
    
    

 

 

## Biggest Losers

GBTC had the largest outflows of any U.S.-listed ETF in 2024. The [**iShares MSCI USA Min Vol Factor ETF (USMV)**](/USMV), the [**ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ)**](/TQQQ), the [**iShares TIPS Bond ETF (TIP)**](/TIP), and the [**iShares iBoxx USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG)**](/HYG) rounded out the top five asset losers.
