U.S.-listed ETFs gathered $61.1 billion in net inflows during the week ending Friday, May 15, pushing year-to-date inflows to nearly $725 billion.
U.S. equity ETFs led the way with $23.5 billion of inflows, followed closely by international equity ETFs at $19.4 billion. Fixed-income ETFs added another $13.4 billion.
Currency ETFs were the lone major asset class to post outflows, shedding $847 million.
Stocks continued to hit record highs last week while bond ETFs moved in the opposite direction. The yield on the 30-year Treasury bond climbed to a 19-year high amid concerns about inflation and rising government debt levels, pressuring long-duration bond funds.
Among individual ETFs, the [**ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK)**](/arkk) topped the inflow leaderboard with $5.9 billion in creations. The move appeared unusual given the ETF’s recent performance. ARKK has lagged in 2026 with a 4.3% loss on the year, suggesting the inflows may have reflected a heartbeat trade rather than a sudden surge in investor demand.
One fund that does appear to be seeing sustained investor interest is the [**Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM)**](/dram), which pulled in another $3.6 billion last week. According to FactSet data, the ETF now holds $10.4 billion in assets under management, making it the fastest ETF on record to surpass the $10 billion mark—just six weeks after launch.
Broader technology-focused funds were also in high demand. The [**Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)**](/qqq) gathered $5.9 billion of inflows during the week, while the [**Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQQM)**](/qqqm) added $1.5 billion.
On the outflows side, the [**SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (DIA)**](/dia), the [**Schwab Fundamental U.S. Large Company ETF (FNDX)**](/fndx) and the [**Schwab Fundamental U.S. Small Company ETF (FNDA)**](/fnda) led the list.
