Welcome to the etf.com league table. On this page, you'll find the U.S. ETF market through different lenses: brand and issuer. What's the difference? The brand is what the ETF says on the tin. For example, "iShares" is the brand of issuer "BlackRock's" ETFs. Because many issuers license their ETF infrastructure to third parties, we present the data in both ways.

Microsoft, Meta, and Qualcomm will kick off a parade of tech earnings after the bell on Wednesday, as Wall Street continues to question the validity of the broader AI trade that is sending chip stocks south.
Memory chip maker SK Hynix reported its results late Tuesday evening, with operating profit climbing a wild 557%. But even that wasn't enough to satisfy investors.
All eyes will be on capital expenditures numbers from Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon, which reports Thursday, after Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) increased capex guidance spooked investors.
Meta, meanwhile, announced that it is entering into a $14 billion agreement with BlackRock to build a 1-gigawatt data center in Texas.
Apple, which has benefited thanks to its more restrained spending, saw its market capitalization briefly surpass the $5 trillion mark on Tuesday, making it just the second company to do so.

Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META, XETRA:FB2A, SIX:FB) and BlackRock Inc (NYSE:BLK) have formed a joint venture to develop and operate a large-scale artificial intelligence data center campus in El Paso, Texas, as Meta looks to expand the infrastructure supporting its AI ambitions.
The venture will develop and own the data center campus, which is currently under construction and is expected to provide 1 gigawatt of compute capacity when it begins coming online in 2028. The project represents a total development cost of approximately $14 billion, including buildings and long-lived power, cooling and connectivity infrastructure.
Under the agreement, funds managed by BlackRock will own an 80% interest in the venture, while Meta will retain a 20% stake. The companies will fund their respective portions of the development costs, with BlackRock making an initial cash contribution of approximately $4.9 billion and Meta contributing land and construction-in-progress ****** ets valued at about $2.3 billion.
Meta will lease the entire campus from the venture and will remain the sole occupant upon completion. The company will provide construction management, administrative and property management services for the facility.
Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote that the partnership would allow the company to scale its AI infrastructure efforts more quickly.

SEOUL, July 27 (Reuters) - Shares of South Korean internet and cloud service giant Naver jumped more than 10% on Monday after it said Nvidia would acquire $1 billion of its new shares to finance a project to expand an AI data centre.
The move underscores a deepening partnership between the two companies, which in June announced plans to build global AI infrastructure to tap demand for sovereign AI in the Asia-Pacific region, Europe and the Middle East.
As the first step, the two firms and investment group Brookfield announced on Friday plans to expand Naver's AI data centre in South Korea with up to $10 billion in funding.
Naver said on Monday it will place 7.2 million new shares with Nvidia for 204,500 won each, or a 1% discount to its closing price on Friday, as part of the agreement. Brookfield will provide up to $9 billion in financing as the project's capital partner, Naver added.
With the investment, Nvidia would become one of the biggest shareholders of Naver, owning a 4.5% stake. The National Pension Service was the biggest shareholder of Naver with a 9.25% stake, followed by BlackRock Fund Advisors with 6.12% as of end-2025.

As investors prepare for Alphabet Inc.'s earnings, Wall Street is once again focused on AI spending, cloud growth and capital expenditures. But BlackRock Inc. CEO Larry Fink believes the industry's biggest constraint isn't chips or models anymore—it's electricity.
Speaking this week, Fink argued that the global AI race will ultimately be decided by whoever can build enough power to support it. He pointed to China's rapid expansion of nuclear and solar generation, saying the country is positioning itself to meet the enormous electricity demands of artificial intelligence while warning that the U.S. should focus on adding power capacity rather than imposing restrictions on data center development.
Google's reported next-generation AI chip, however, suggests there may be another way to attack the problem.

With stablecoin supply above $300 billion and payment use reaching an estimated $390 billion in 2025, more than twice the previous year, competition increasingly centres on distribution, liquidity, reserve income, and access to payment networks.
Open USD has brought these commercial forces together through a consortium of more than 140 participants, including Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, Coinbase, and BlackRock. Participating companies will be able to distribute the ******* et through exchanges, wallets, merchant products, and payment services while receiving a share of reserve earnings.
The model places Open USD against established issuers and smaller competitors seeking partnerships with the same financial companies.
BeInCrypto spoke with Louisa Bai, Head of Stablecoins at Mysten Labs, Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs, and Kevin Cui, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of OSL Group, about stablecoin competition, regional use cases, currency demand, and blockchain settlement.
Open USD gives participating companies a financial incentive to support adoption through their own products. Reserve earnings can be returned to consortium members, linking token distribution to commercial revenue.

The group aims to deploy $30 billion of equity capital initially, with the potential of reaching $100 billion, including debt.

President Trump recently ordered Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to explore Australia's retirement model as a way to reform the US retirement savings system.
It's not the first time Trump has tossed out the country's system as one that interests him. He has been dancing around it for months now.
"They have a plan in Australia, which people really like," Trump said on July 6, when he met with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, who has been touting Australia's program for a few years.
"It's really worked out very well," Trump added. "We're going to be talking about that with Congress and see if we can implement it."
Australia's system includes superannuation funds that require employers to supplement workers' wages with contributions to privately managed pensions at a rate of 12% of employees' salaries.

After two years of heavy buying on AI hype, reality started to set in. Many software companies admitted that building AI features is expensive, with about 70% saying those costs are hurting margins.

Decades ago, it would take weeks or even months to send a message to someone, especially if they were far away. Today, finding information and staying connected have never been easier. People can communicate instantly and find answers in seconds through digital technology. It's no exaggeration to say that these platforms have become a key part of everyday life.
That's what makes companies like Alphabet and Meta so interesting- at least as investments. Both have had their hand in driving the digital landscape to where it is today, and both are still hard at work shaping the future.

MAXJ caps S&P 500 gains at 11% in exchange for full downside protection, returning just 7% while SPY gained 20% last year.
MAXJ's full buffer only protects investors who buy at the period's start and hold through June. Mid-cycle buyers inherit a partially depleted shield.
SPY's 74% five-year return shows long-horizon investors overpay for MAXJ's cap; IVV paired with a Treasury ETF costs far less and keeps upside open.

For every investor frozen at all-time highs and refusing to buy, BlackRock built a product with them in mind. The iShares Large Cap Max Buffer Jun ETF (NASDAQ:MAXJ) promises something that should not exist in public markets. You get the S&P 500's returns up to a cap, and if stocks fall, MAXJ aims to protect against 100% of losses over a 12-month window. The catch matters, and MAXJ investors need to understand it before they mistake insurance for a free lunch.

It was a good start to what's expected to be a strong earnings season for the S&P 500 (^GSPC). According to FactSet data, **** ysts estimate the year-over-year S&P 500 earnings growth rate for the second quarter will be 23.3% — above the five-year average of 16.4% and the 10-year average of 10.3%.
If that holds, it will mark the second consecutive earnings growth rate above 20% for the index and the seventh straight quarter of double-digit growth.
Also reporting earnings this week were ASML Holding N.V. (ASML), Morgan Stanley (MS), BlackRock (BLK), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), and United Airlines Holdings (UAL).

US spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded another $296 million in net outflows over the past 24 hours, equal to roughly 5,050 BTC. BlackRock led the redemptions, with Grayscale, Fidelity, and ARK Invest also posting losses.
Glassnode data shows the sell-off has now reached $8.95 billion since May 7. Bitcoin trades near $61,600, up 2.4% in 24 hours, but flow data suggests the bounce rests on fragile ground.
Glassnode's US spot ETF net flow data shows demand weakening since late September 2025. Daily inflows peaked above $1.2 billion back then. Since then, positive days have grown smaller and less frequent.
The decisive shift arrived on May 7. Since that date, the funds have posted only five positive sessions. The remaining 34 trading days were negative, draining $8.95 billion in total.
June alone accounted for $4.5 billion, the worst monthly outflow since the products launched in January 2024. Meanwhile, bitcoin fell 20.48% over the month, its steepest drop since June 2022.
