Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) and Hyperliquid (CRYPTO: HYPE) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are seeing capital inflows right as spot Bitcoin ETFs shed roughly $8.2 billion across an eight-week outflow streak culminating on July 6, and Ethereum funds joined them in the red. Solana ETFs now hold about $904 million in **** ets, and Hyperliquid ETFs have pulled in $350 million since May.
So does that mean investors should be bullish on the coins seeing the inflows?

Solana is down by about 60% over the past year. Fresh capital entering into spot Solana ETFs looks a lot like investors and financial institutions buying the dip in anticipation of the chain's upcoming catalysts.
Specifically, Alpenglow, the overhaul that is set to cut transaction finality times from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds, activates on the mainnet sometime between August and October. Faster settlement is what Solana's institutional customers want and need, so it's likely going to be a significant unlock for even more capital onboarding in the future.

SPYI and QQQI deliver 12% and 14% monthly yields using Section 1256 index options, shielding most distributions from ordinary income tax rates.
JEPI and JEPQ distribute ordinary income from equity-linked notes, creating higher tax drag that compounds against taxable-account investors over time.
ISPY's daily call reset preserves more S&P 500 upside, delivering 17% total returns at a lower 4.6% yield than SPYI or QQQI.

Covered call ETFs promise double-digit yields from a broad equity index. Three funds stand out for how they handle taxes: the NEOS S&P 500 High Income ETF (NASDAQ:SPYI), the NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF (NASDAQ:QQQI), and the ProShares S&P 500 High Income ETF (NASDAQ:ISPY).

The NEOS Bitcoin High Income ETF (CBOE:BTCI) markets itself as a way to earn equity-like income from Bitcoin's volatility. BTCI pays monthly, uses a synthetic covered call overlay on Bitcoin exposure, and has distributed at rates translating into a headline yield well above 15%. This piece examines how BTCI generates that cash flow, whether the current distribution level is durable, and what trailing price action reveals about total returns.
This Bitcoin-oriented vehicle holds BTC exposure indirectly rather than through spot coins. According to the fund's holdings snapshot, roughly 56% of **** ets sit in U.S. Treasury bills, with Bitcoin exposure coming through positions in iShares Bitcoin Trust (roughly 13%) and VanEck's HODL (roughly 7%). The manager writes call options on Bitcoin ETFs and may layer in bear call spreads, a structure described in fund coverage as a synthetic covered call approach. BTCI's design aims to generate income while maintaining indirect exposure to Bitcoin price movements.

JPMorgan Chase(NYSE: JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon recently gave a provocative interview with a CNBC podcast. On Monday, Dimon effectively said that he wouldn't buy most stocks right now at today's high valuations.
Even if Dimon is somewhat bearish on the stock market, that doesn't mean everyday investors should be. For one thing, Jamie Dimon is a billionaire, and he's getting closer to retirement; his investment goals and time horizon are probably a lot different from yours. And perhaps even more important: No one knows how to time the market, not even the CEOs of major banks.

Even if you share Dimon's concerns that some stock valuations are too high, that doesn't mean you should stop investing. Let's look at three exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that might be good choices for non-billionaire, long-term investors.
Even if valuations are high, it's almost always a good idea for long-term investors to keep buying a broadly diversified stock market index fund like the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (NYSEMKT: VTI). This Vanguard ETF holds a portfolio of 3,531 U.S. stocks of companies of all sizes (large cap, mid cap, and small cap) and charges an ultralow expense ratio of 0.03%.

VTI's dual share class nearly eliminates capital gains distributions, giving it a compounding tax advantage over ITOT and SCHB in taxable brokerage accounts.
SCHB's Schwab fractional-share access puts every automated contribution dollar to work immediately, a platform-specific edge VTI and ITOT cannot match inside Schwab.
Don't wait: the **** yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now.
Three total market index ETFs dominate the do-it-yourself investor's shortlist for whole-market US equity exposure: Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (NYSEARCA:VTI), iShares Core S&P Total U.S. Stock Market ETF (NYSEARCA:ITOT), and Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF (NYSEARCA:SCHB). All three charge 0.03% in annual expenses, hold thousands of US stocks, and post nearly identical trailing returns.
The one-year numbers cluster tightly: VTI at around 21%, ITOT at roughly 21%, and SCHB at about 21%. Over a 30-year holding period, small structural differences in index depth, tax treatment, and ecosystem fit start to matter, and picking the wrong container for the same underlying market can quietly cost meaningful compounded dollars.

VYM's high-yield strategy leads VIG 13% to 9% in 2026 year-to-date returns, but dividend growth ETFs have historically delivered stronger long-term total returns.
A high dividend yield often signals slower earnings growth or a declining share price, sacrificing future capital appreciation for current income.
Don't wait: the ***** yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now.
Many income investors ***** ume that the highest-yielding dividend ETF is automatically the better investment. However, that has not necessarily been the case in 2026. While high-yield strategies continue to attract investors seeking immediate income, dividend growth ETFs have historically delivered stronger long-term total returns by investing in companies with growing earnings, rising dividends, and high-quality fundamentals.
Two of the most popular ETFs representing these approaches are the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (NYSEARCA: VIG) and the Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (NYSEARCA: VYM). VIG prioritizes companies with long records of increasing dividends, while VYM focuses on stocks offering above-average current yields. For investors deciding between dividend growth vs. high yield, understanding the trade-offs between these two strategies may be more important than simply chasing the highest payout.

In this episode of Behind the Ticker, Brad Roth, CIO of Thor Financial Technologies, chats with Young Jae Lee, Senior Investment Manager at Pictet ******* et Management about what traditional emerging market ETFs capture, what they don't, and why the Pictet Emerging Markets Rising Economies ETF (RISE) offers true diversification.
Prefer to watch this conversation? You can do that here or on our YouTube channel.
Emerging markets ETFs are secretly tech bets. The top five holdings in the MSCI EM benchmark mirror the top five in the S&P 500 almost sector-for-sector. Buy traditional EM ETFs and you're really just doubling down on the same tech risk.
Pictet's new ETF, RISE, kicks out the biggest names in EM. It excludes Korea, Taiwan, and China entirely, even though those three countries make up more than 70% of the standard benchmark. The bet: real emerging-market exposure means growing working-age populations, not aging economies riding on legacy index weight.
Demographics are EM's version of AI. Borrowing from the Solow Growth Model, Young Jae Lee argues population growth is what actually drives GDP in developing markets like India, Brazil, Indonesia, and Mexico. That demographic engine deserves the same portfolio spotlight in EM allocations that AI gets in US ones.

YieldMax launched YSPC, a synthetic covered-call ETF built around **** eX, charging a 1.01% expense ratio with no distributions paid yet.
SPCX plunged 33% in the past month, and because YSPC's strategy caps gains but not losses, that drop directly erodes the fund's NAV.
Since **** eX pays no dividend, all YSPC income comes from sold call premiums, meaning sustained declines can drain principal even while distributions are paid.
Act now: the **** yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and **** eX didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.

International stocks are performing admirably this year. As of July 22, the MSCI ACWI ex-US Investable Market Index, which combines developed and emerging market equities, is higher by 11.51%. Sounds good and it is, but investors should dig deeper.
Artificial intelligence (AI)-adjacent and technology stocks, many hailing from emerging markets, have been key contributors to international equity upside this year. As a result, markets such as South Korea and Taiwan loom large in some supposedly diverse international ETFs. Plus, some of those funds now devote significant percentages of their portfolios to growth stocks.
For investors looking to defray some of those risks while adding more value exposure to their portfolios, the ALPS O'Shares International Developed Quality Dividend ETF (OEFA) is an idea to consider. With its emphasis on quality traits and dividend growth, OEFA could be an ideal complement to growth-heavy portfolios and for investors looking for a more prudent way to gain international exposure.
With the S&P 500 heavily allocated to AI-related stocks and with the same becoming true of some developing markets, developed market exposure – attainable via OEFA – becomes all the more compelling because the sector-level profiles in many developed markets don't resemble those found here in the U.S.

Bitcoin remains dominant, but that ETF demand has become more selective toward the lowest-cost products.
Hyperliquid ETFs show that investors still reward differentiated use cases, flexibility, and credible growth narratives.
Active multi-token ETFs can provide a nimble solution to combat the dynamic nature of the crypto market.
The crypto market has entered a more selective phase. Financial institutions continue to explore practical concepts like tokenization, stablecoins, and incorporating crypto trading alongside equities on their platforms. This momentum persists even as broader enthusiasm for cryptocurrencies has cooled. And in the background, regulatory progress continues to evolve as the CLARITY Act nears the finish line, providing tailwinds for the long term.

Artisan Partners, an investment management company, released its second-quarter 2026 investor letter for its "Artisan Small Cap Fund". A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. The fund reported strong absolute returns and modestly outperformed the Russell 2000® Growth Index, which gained 25.7%. Global equities rebounded as resilient US growth, moderating inflation, strong earnings and continued AI investment outweighed delayed rate cuts, rising bond yields and geopolitical uncertainty. Investor Class: ARTSX, Advisor Class: APDSX, and Institutional Class: APHSX returned 26.02%, 26.05%, and 26.11%, respectively, in the second quarter, compared to a 25.71% return for the index. Market leadership favored loss-making, highly leveraged companies, creating a difficult environment for quality-focused active managers. Health care was the strongest relative contributor, while energy, materials, financials and real estate also helped. Technology, industrials and consumer discretionary detracted, partly because the fund did not own oversized index contributors. Software holdings also weakened despite strong fundamentals. The fund remains positive on small-cap opportunities, AI infrastructure and health care, but has reduced software exposure and is staying selective as valuations rise and competitive risks increase. In addition, please check the Fund's top five holdings to know its best picks in 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Artisan Small Cap Fund highlighted Virtu Financial, Inc. (NYSE:VIRT). Virtu Financial, Inc. (NYSE:VIRT) operates as a financial services company that operates through Market Making and Execution Services segments. On July 23, 2026, Virtu Financial, Inc. (NYSE:VIRT) closed at $59.67 per share. One-month return of Virtu Financial, Inc. (NYSE:VIRT) was -1.89% and its shares gained 34.75% over the past 52 weeks. Virtu Financial, Inc. (NYSE:VIRT) has a market capitalization of $9.25 billion with a 52-week range between $31.55 - $68.02.
Artisan Small Cap Fund stated the following regarding Virtu Financial, Inc. (NYSE:VIRT) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"Virtu Financial, Inc. (NYSE:VIRT) is a technology-enabled market maker and execution services provider. We believe it has a strong franchise built on market structure expertise, a low-risk trading model and a scalable platform spanning equities, ETFs, futures, foreign exchange, options and crypto. We initiated a Garden position and later elevated it to a Crop position as our conviction increased. We have owned Virtu previously and are encouraged by the new CEO's strategic changes, including expansion into new products and geographies while maintaining its disciplined risk profile. We believe these initiatives support a durable company-specific profit cycle driven by market share gains, growth in execution services and continued expansion in options, ETF block trading and crypto. A more supportive market environment should make the benefits of these strategic change

As the old adage goes, the only certainties in life are death and taxes. But an old rule applied in a new way for ETFs challenges one of those certainties.
Section 351 exchanges rely on a little-known provision of the U.S. tax code that, under specific conditions, allows appreciated securities to be contributed to a newly formed ETF without triggering an immediate taxable event. Especially for investors with concentrated stock positions, 351 conversions can provide a tax-efficient path to enhancing portfolio diversification. (Read: "Got Cap Gains? How Portfolios Can Move Into ETFs Tax-Free")
While Section 351 has been around for decades, only recently have ETF issuers applied the rule towards new ETFs. We recently sat down with independent tax management expert Brent Sullivan to better understand the opportunities (and obstacles) ETFs launched via Section 351 may present to investors.

Bitcoin, the largest digital currency by market capitalization, is showing signs. It surpassed the psychologically important $65,000 level and is higher by nearly 3% for the week ending July 21.
It remains to be seen if months of cryptocurrency frustration are nearing an end. The same is true regarding a bitcoin bottom. However, with the CLARITY Act close to passing and bullish price action of late, crypto investors may have credible reasons to get back in the game. Thanks to the NEOS Bitcoin High Income ETF (BTCI), market participants can earn compensation while waiting for the bitcoin dust to settle.
The $1.12 billion BTCI turns two years old in October and has rapidly become royalty in the bitcoin income ETF ***** e. The actively managed BTCI writes or sells options on a pair of well-known spot bitcoin ETFs, ensuring a solid liquidity profile. It's a smart income move, as highlighted by a 30-day SEC yield 2.13% — a percentage previously unthinkable with crypto ETFs.
BTCI's status as an income-generating bitcoin avenue is potentially attractive at a time when some market participants are apprehensive about what comes next for the dominant digital currency.

(Bloomberg) -- The US Treasury Department has expressed concern over a number of high-profile tax strategies touted by Wall Street that it says may be "too good to be true."
Officials told an industry gathering on Tuesday morning in New York the department considers that some of these products may be abusive, and said it is actively evaluating the tools available to address them.
However, they stopped short of announcing new guidelines, saying instead they "expect a serious dialogue with the market before positions harden" and investors are placed at more risk.
The strategies under scrutiny include so-called 351 conversions, box-spread exchange-traded funds, products that offset ordinary income, and funds that avoid dividend income by flipping between other ETFs. Speaking at a Wall Street Tax ***** ociation seminar, Kevin Salinger, deputy ***** istant secretary for tax policy at the Treasury, and Erika Nijenhuis, senior counsel, said the department has no wish to over-engineer rules, but it cannot ignore a market developing around transactions with results Congress did not appear to intend.

Robinhood Markets (HOOD) reports second-quarter results on Wednesday, July 29. That could be an ideal time for active traders to consider single-stock ETFs such as the Direxion Daily HOOD Bull 2X ETF (HODU).
Ahead of the report, traders considering this leveraged ETF should examine some of the catalysts that could move Robinhood shares. It should also be noted that HODU attempts to deliver 200% of the daily returns of the financial services stock. That is to say, this is a short-term ETF, not one that should be treated as a buy-and-hold fund.
Heading into Robinhood earnings, Wall Street is bullish on the financial services stock. On Monday, Needham reiterated a "buy" rating on the stock, while boosting its price target to $123 from $97. Citing strength across various business lines, including cryptocurrency, equities, options and prediction markets, Needham boosted its 2026 and 2027 revenue estimates on Robinhood. It noted that the brokerage firm's core retail customer remains heavily engaged with the platform.
In recent months, prediction markets have increasingly become a focal point in the Robinhood investment thesis. It's an issue for traders considering HODU to stay abreast of as well.

For a company that prides itself on the stablecoin it developed and manages, Circle Internet Group's (NYSE: CRCL) stock has been anything but stable lately.

According to Bankrate's Mortgage Rates, the national average for a 30-year fixed mortgage is 6.61%. That's uncomfortably high and a major headwind to many prospective homebuyers, particularly those in the first-time category. But it's not all bad news in the mortgage market. Confirming opportunity abounds for fixed income investors with ETFs such as the WisdomTree Mortgage Plus Bond Fund (MTGP), some experts view mortgage-backed securities (MBS) as one of the more fundamentally sturdy corners of the bond market.
The actively managed MTGP, which turns seven years old in November, sports a 30-day SEC yield of 4.31%. That's impressive when considering the scant credit risk typically ***** ociated with MBS. The case for the WisdomTree ETF is fortified by a robust fundamental outlook.
"Agency mortgage-backed securities fundamentals remain supported by a combination of elevated mortgage rates, limited refinancing incentives, constrained housing turnover, and low net supply," noted BNP Paribas.
As noted above, high mortgage rates are drags on residential real estate activity. Those rates are barriers to entry for many buyers, which morphs into a problem for sellers. However, that situation can be a boon for MBS.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $206M in net inflows on July 21, per data tracked by CoinGlass, completing a six-consecutive-day run that totals more than $900M, the longest unbroken positive streak since May.
This inflow streak comes as the Bitcoin price reclaimed the $66,000 level (which it has since lost) and market sentiment entered neutral territory for the first time in nearly a month.
(SOURCE: CoinGlass)
This is not simply a rebound in ETF flows. It is a structural re-engagement by institutional capital following one of the more damaging periods of outflows the Bitcoin ETF complex has endured since its January 2024 launch.
The **** ytical question is no longer whether June's selling pressure has exhausted itself; it is whether the current inflow cadence is durable enough to shift the medium-term supply-demand balance.

ETF.com President & Director of Research Dave Nadig grabbed some time with John Montgomery, Founder, CEO, and PM at Bridgeway Capital Management, while at the 2026 ICI ETF Conference. Their discussion covered everything from contrarian investing and walking the talk to the company's 50% donation of profits to charities since its inception in the early '90s.
John Montgomery has been running Bridgeway for over three decades, with a simple pitch: deep quantitative research, a focus on smaller, less-liquid stocks that bigger competitors can't touch, and a lean team where everyone knows everyone. But the real differentiator isn't the strategy but instead the why. Bridgeway funnels a share of its profits into a foundation focused on ending genocide and preventing war atrocities, working in sub-Saharan Africa and Ukraine. It's not a marketing gimmick either but instead is baked into the culture from the board room down.
The firm's move from mutual funds to ETFs is its own case study in doing things the hard way for the right reasons. Rather than sidestep the pain with a cheaper clone or share-class workaround, Bridgeway fully converted several strategies, eating short-term costs for long-term tax efficiency and lower fees. Montgomery's philosophy is if a painful transition is coming, do it early and don't wait until you're the last holdout. However, Bridgeway isn't trying to be a trailblazer either in that regard, instead waiting for at least some of the infrastructure to get built by others and jumping in once the operational kinks are worked out.
On the investing side, Montgomery's contrarian streak runs deep. His family literally trims their own personal budget to buy more stock when markets crash, putting the buy low, sell high mentality into practice. That mindset shows up in Bridgeway's small-cap value strategy, which stays disciplined even when the category falls out of favor, helped by a long partnership with Focus Partners Wealth that rebalances into the strategy precisely when everyone else is fleeing it. It's a countercyclical approach that sounds obvious on paper and is brutally hard to live by in practice. It's also the perfect case study for exactly why people need financial advisors in the first place.

In another one of this week's tests of investor sentiment around artificial intelligence (AI) – and a tentpole one at that -- Google's parent company, Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), reports second-quarter results after the close of U.S. markets on Wednesday, July 22.
This report could be an opportune time for short-term traders to consider Alphabet single-stock ETFs, such as the Direxion Daily GOOGL Bull 2X Shares (GGLL) and the Direxion Daily GOOGL Bear 1X Shares (GGLS). When preparing for Alphabet's earnings with these funds, traders should note that GGLL attempts to deliver 200% of the daily returns of the internet stock, while the bearish GGLS seeks intraday performances corresponding with the inverse returns of Alphabet.
Although shares of Alphabet are up 12% year to date, they have slipped 3% over the past month — perhaps signaling a near-term burden of proof for the company as it heads into its earnings report. If that's accurate, either GGLL or GGLS could be worth considering.
"Look for Google Cloud growth in both quarterly numbers and contracted future revenue (or backlog)," noted Malik Khan of Morningstar.

Non-backlog factors, such as consumption-based spending and new commitments, will be important for understanding the health of the cloud business."

Bitcoin (BTC) has been trading relatively range-bound in the past few days as the market is struggling to find direction following the latest inflation report in the United States.
Even though geopolitical tensions persist, the odds of a rate increase in September have declined a bit, indicating that market participants see the latest drop in inflation levels as a potential incentive for the Federal Reserve to delay a rate hike.
According to data from FedWatch, the odds that the federal funds rate will stay in a range between 350 and 375 basis points increased 25% a week ago to 36% as of now.
Although half of these **** ysts believe that the Fed will raise rates by 25bps, opinions seem to be divided, and that could be the cause for the latest phase of consolidation that Bitcoin has experienced in recent days.
Despite this uncertain scenario, market participants seem to be positioning for a bullish move, as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to Bitcoin have booked a 4-day streak of positive net inflows.

CLOZ charges 0.50% to pick BBB-B CLO tranches, delivering 7% yield and 10% annualized returns versus JAAA's 5% at just 0.20%.

Collateralized loan obligation ETFs have become one of the fastest-growing corners of fixed income by offering floating-rate coupons, historically low default rates, and yields that outpace investment-grade corporates. The trade-off is that CLO tranches are not standardized bonds, and the manager picking them matters. That is why the Eldridge BBB-B CLO ETF (NYSEARCA:CLOZ) charges 0.50% while the Janus Henderson AAA CLO ETF (NYSEARCA:JAAA) charges 0.20%, and the question is whether the extra fee buys something you cannot get elsewhere at a lower cost.
The four other funds worth measuring against CLOZ are JAAA, the Janus Henderson B-BBB CLO ETF (NYSEARCA:JBBB), the iShares AAA CLO Active ETF (NYSEARCA:CLOA), and the Eldridge AAA CLO ETF (NYSEARCA:CLOX). Each sits at a different point on the rating ladder and answers the active-versus-passive question differently.
