September marks the end of the summer holidays and the return to work. It is therefore not surprising to see many ETF launches during this period. That’s particularly true for thematic ETFs, with 16 new products introduced over the global markets in September.
Despite market turmoil and volatility, fund issuers were particularly active within the cryptocurrency and blockchain themes. They now respectively include 155 ETFs (51 launched in 2022) and 18 ETFs (7 launched in 2022) and collected $496M and $23M YTD.
