Equity funds led the pack, bringing in $15.5 billion in net inflows this week, up from $2.6 billion two weeks ago. Other inflows winners this week included: commodities funds, $1.6 billion in net inflows (up from $1 million in net outflows two weeks ago); and alternatives funds, $138 million in net inflows (up from $108 million two weeks ago). On the flip side, money market funds defined overall industry flows, thanks to $66.3 billion in net outflows this week, down from $13.1 billion in net inflows two weeks ago. Other outflows sufferers this week included: fixed income funds, $438 million (down from $13.269 billion in net inflows two weeks ago); and mixed-assets funds, $289 million (down from $765 million two weeks ago). Equity ETFs brought in $19 billion in net inflows this week. It was their fourth week of inflows in a row and their largest week of inflows since December, up from $10.7 billion two weeks ago. Domestic equity ETFs brought in $16.9 billion in net inflows, their fourth consecutive week of inflows. And non-domestic equity ETFs brought in $2 billion in net inflows, their 13th week of inflows in a row. This week's biggest equity ETF winner was SSGA's SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY).

This week's biggest taxable fixed income ETF winner was again BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT).
