State Street Reports Surge in ETF Innovation with Digital Asset Strategies Gaining Traction
State Street Corporation's 2025 Global ETF Megatrends Midyear Review reveals accelerating ETF adoption, with $900 billion in global inflows during the first half—a 25% year-over-year increase. The firm, servicing half of all US actively managed ETF filings, facilitated 210 launches across three continents, including pioneering products like the first US Physical Carbon Credit ETF.
Digital asset strategies feature prominently in this expansion, though no specific cryptocurrencies were named in the truncated report. State Street's infrastructure now supports ETF issuers across the US, Europe, Australia, and Taiwan, with Joerg Ambrosius noting clients are driving innovation 'from active ETFs in Asia to digital asset strategies.'
