US Equity ETF Inflows Hit $300B in Three Months

⬤ Over the last three months, US equity ETFs have seen money rushing in at an incredible pace. More than $300 billion has flooded into these funds during this period, making it the second-biggest three-month stretch ever recorded. Since mid-October, daily inflows have averaged around $5.5 billion, showing just how hungry investors are for stock market exposure right now.

⬤ Looking at the bigger picture, the trend is unmistakable. In Year 1 of this market cycle, daily inflows averaged about $1.29 billion. That climbed to roughly $2.61 billion in Year 2, then hit around $3.42 billion per day in Year 3. Now, in Year 4, we’re seeing average daily inflows of about $5.53 billion—a massive jump that shows how much momentum has built up.

Equity ETF inflows have exceeded $300 billion during this period, making it the second-largest three-month inflow on record.

⬤ Just since October 12, equity ETFs have pulled in around $220 billion in net inflows. This isn’t some quick blip—it’s sustained buying pressure that keeps going. To put that in perspective, the average daily inflow between October 2024 and October 2025 was about $3.4 billion, which makes the recent spike even more dramatic. Big benchmark funds like SPY have seen heavy participation, driving these massive numbers.

⬤ This kind of money movement matters for the market as a whole. When this much cash flows into equity ETFs consistently, it affects liquidity, trading patterns, and even short-term price action. The steady stream of capital shows investors are feeling confident about stocks. But the sheer speed and size of these flows also means keeping a close eye on ETF activity is crucial for understanding where market momentum and sentiment are headed.
