[![sumit](/sites/default/files/styles/author_image_icon/public/2023-03/Sumit_0.png?itok=SO-7S5SH "sumit")](/authors/sumit-roy) [By Sumit Roy ](/authors/sumit-roy) Oct 06, 2025 Edited by: ETF.com Staff [ + Follow ](/etf/login) Share Email LinkedIn Facebook X (Twitter) googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('js-dfp-tag-article_page_302x26'); }); Loading U.S.-listed ETFs pulled in $34.6 billion in the week ending Oct. 3, marking another strong week of inflows as markets continued to rally. U.S. fixed income ETFs led the way with $11.3 billion of inflows, ahead of the $5.6 billion that went into U.S. equity ETFs. International equity ETFs also saw robust demand last week, gathering $8.7 billion. Total inflows for U.S.-listed ETFs in 2025 now stand at more than $950 billion, putting the industry on pace to top $1 trillion for the second straight year. ## Top Individual Flows The [**SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF (SPLG)**](/splg) led all ETFs last week with $1.8 billion of inflows. SPLG’s 0.02% expense ratio undercuts the 0.03% fees charged by larger rivals like the [**Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO)**](/vo) and the [**iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV)**](/ivv), helping it attract cost-conscious investors. The S&P 500 extended its gains last week, hitting new records and bringing its year-to-date rise to more than 15%. In second place, the [**iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG)**](/hyg) added $1.7 billion. High yield corporate bonds have rallied this year as yields have fallen and credit spreads versus Treasuries have tightened to their narrowest levels in years. HYG is up 7.3% year to date, trailing the 7.8% gain for its investment grade counterpart, the [**iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD)**](/lqd). Other notable flow winners from last week included the [**VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH)**](/smh), the [**SPDR Gold Shares (GLD)**](/gld), and the [**iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT)**](/ibit). Each of those funds hit new highs last week alongside their underlying assets. Gold recently surpassed $4,000/oz for the first time, Bitcoin topped $125,000, and semiconductors continued to surge on relentless demand for AI infrastructure.
