Risk-On ETFs Surge After Donald Trump’s Victory, Crypto Products Reap Benefit

Source Beincrypto

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas pointed out a “Trump-inspired gusher of cash” hitting risk-on ETFs in the US market. Bitcoin and crypto ETFs aren’t leading this rally, but they are nonetheless seeing huge gains.

Federal interest rate cuts might cause bearish sentiment for risk-on assets, but crypto ETFs hold a special advantage.

Risk-On ETFs Triumphant

According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, risk-on ETF assets exceed all expectations on Thursday. Since Donald Trump won the recent US Presidential Election, the crypto market has been booming. However, recent trading data suggests that risk-on ETFs are also seeing record flows, even in areas unrelated to the industry:

“FLOWMAGEDDON: A Trump-inspired gusher of cash is flowing into risk-on ETFs. +$22 billion in one day is absurd, that is normally a good WEEK. YTD net flows now +$856 billion, ($55 billion away from annual record) and the rolling 1 year has passed $1 trillion,” Balchunas stated via social media post.

Balchunas quoted fellow ETF analyst Todd Sohn as calling this a “post-election release valve.” In a surprising twist, Bitcoin ETFs are nowhere to be seen in this list of biggest winners. However, they still fall into the category of risk-on assets and are independently showing very bullish signs.

For example, take BlackRock’s IBIT, the best-performing Bitcoin ETF. Before the election, the ETFs were already surging in value, and on Thursday, IBIT saw $1.12 billion in inflows in one day. In total, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $1.38 billion in inflows on Thursday.

Other crypto-adjacent risk-on ETFs have seen similar victories, even if they didn’t qualify as the best-performing ETFs. For example, CONL, the 2x Coinbase ETF, rose by 62% in one day.

Balchunas claimed this was close to an all-time record for ETF one-day percentage gains. Smaller wins like this point to a greater bullish trend for the entire asset category.

US input costs rose at the fastest pace in four years — the September flash PMI beat is an inflation story, not a growth storyUS September flash PMIs came in far above expectations, with the composite at 58.4, a five-year high. But the detail that moved markets was input cost inflation at its fastest since October 2022, driven by fuel, transport and supply shortages.

Brent edges toward $99 as Trump rejects Iran's Hormuz proposal — why the war-risk premium won't rebuildBrent crude rose 0.92% to $98.51 and WTI gained 1.15% to $93.51 after President Trump rejected Iran's seven-day proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. But both benchmarks remain about 12% below their early-September highs, because supply never actually stopped. Hormuz flows ran at 33.7 million barrels this week, in line with the prior week, and Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline restarted on September 22.
