A real, potentially lasting U.S.-Iran deal appears to be on the horizon for the first time in many weeks of on-, then off-again negotiations.

On June 18, Franklin Templeton filed for the Franklin US Equity Bitcoin DRIP Index ETF and the Franklin US Innovation Bitcoin DRIP Index ETF.

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 13:00:00 -0400

Humanoid robots may grab the headlines, but they represent just one small piece of a much larger opportunity in the physical AI ecosystem. Autonomous robots, drones, collaborative robots (cobots), and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles are rapidly transitioning from conceptual hype to scaled industrial and defense deployments. This wave of physical AI is acting as the primary engine behind a broader industrial resilience and reshoring push across the U.S., Europe, and Japan.

The Qs Shift Gears: Nasdaq 100 Rebalances While SpaceX Looms

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 10:00:00 -0400

The Nasdaq 100 implemented its June quarterly rebalance, which shifts the tide for “the Qs.” Namely, the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ B) and its cost-efficient sibling, the Invesco Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQM B+). This standard indexing procedure in the Nasdaq’s biggest names typically triggers a massive, multi-billion-dollar wave of automated portfolio realignments across the globe. Of course, many investors are wondering if the latest rebalance will also include a certain aerospace company that’s been generating much buzz as of late: SpaceX.

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 09:00:00 -0400

Core Alpha, Mass Scale: How Capital Group Shifted the Active ETF Playbook

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 08:00:00 -0400

When Capital Group launched its first ETFs just over four years ago, it coincided with a personal milestone. It was the same quarter I joined TMX VettaFi. Back then, some people thought Capital Group was late to the active ETF market. However, at the end of the first quarter of 2026, they were the third largest player in their space. I sat down with Capital Group’s Scott Davis at the Investment Company Institute (ICI) conference to discuss the firm’s rapid growth.

Crypto Holds Firm Through a Hawkish Fed Reset

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 08:00:00 -0400

Kevin Warsh’s first meeting as Fed Chair delivered a hawkish hold. The policy rate stayed unchanged at 3.5% to 3.75%, but the statement was far from dovish: activity remains solid, uncertainty is elevated on the Middle East conflict, and inflation sits above target partly on energy-related supply shocks. June projections reinforced a higher-for-longer stance, with the median end-2026 fed funds rate at 3.8% and 2027 at 3.6%. Warsh signalled less choreography and more genuine data dependence, trimming forward guidance further.

Volatility Protection & Income in a Dynamic Buffered ETF

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 16:00:00 -0400

While the market is pushing toward new all-time highs, the first quarter of 2026 reminded investors that volatility can strike at any moment. Indeed, uncertainty still lingers. As such, the need to participate in equity growth must be balanced with the prospect of a sudden market correction. Geopolitical friction, shifting interest rate expectations, and potentially stretched valuations in megacap names add to the ongoing uncertainty. For investors seeking a way to stay invested without exposing their capital to severe downside risk, the Fidelity Dynamic Buffered Equity ETF (FBUF ) could be a compelling option.

Covered Call ETFs Have Boomed – But Can They Be More?

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 15:00:00 -0400

Investors have plenty of reasons to celebrate the covered call ETF boom. Covered call strategies have offered new ways to add income to portfolios. Challenges in fixed income were a catalyst for assets to flow into traditional covered call ETFs. Those funds offer income, but at a costly trade-off, frequently limiting upside and long-term performance for those ETFs.

Dimensional Consolidates $250B Lineup Into ETF Share Classes

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:00:00 -0400

A “slow-moving avalanche” was a phrase thrown around at the ETF Exchange 2026 event earlier this year to describe the prospect of ETF share classes making their way through the market.

The first snow from said avalanche could be breaking loose as Dimensional just announced a sweeping consolidation of its ETF fund lineup. Just earlier this week, Fidelity also launched its first ETF share classes as part of a growing number of institutional conversions set to alter the product development landscape for active managers.

iShares Launches New Bitcoin Income ETF

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 13:00:00 -0400

The bitcoin ETF story has been an interesting one. From the hype, excitement, and final release of spot bitcoin ETFs in January 2024, those funds no longer dominate the headlines. The iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT ), iShares’ take on the spot bitcoin ETF, exploded to a nearly $100 billion in October 2025, but has since seen its AUM halved. Now, iShares is making a foray into a new type of bitcoin ETF, the bitcoin income ETF, with its new fund BITA.
