In 2024, exchange-traded fund inflows hit a record high, reaching historic levels in July. Experts anticipate the impact of $6 trillion in money market funds on ETF inflows by year-end. Assets in money market funds have surged to $6.24 trillion, waiting for a Federal Reserve rate cut. As rates fall, capital is expected to move into stocks, higher-yielding fixed income, and ETFs.
