JPM's Success As Active ETF Mngr, NYSE Builds for 24/7 Trading of Tokenized ETFs | ETF IQ 1/21/2026

Summary

Bloomberg ETF IQ reviews a big January for ETF flows, with emerging markets and previously left-behind segments such as equal weight, mid-caps and financials drawing money. JPMorgan's Jed Laskowitz discusses continued diversification outside the U.S., a significant opportunity in active fixed income, and caution about private assets in ETFs. NYSE/ICE's Michael Blaugrund outlines plans for a 24/7 tokenized trading venue for stocks and ETFs and growing real-world asset tokenization. Tuttle Capital's Matt Tuttle explains a new meme-stock income ETF that sells puts, along with stalled or speculative product launches (GRFT, UFOD) and his sub-advisory role on Trump Media technology ETFs.

• January ETF inflows topped $100 billion, with emerging markets pacing toward a record month and flows spread across 72 emerging markets.
• Equal weight (RSP), mid-caps and financials are drawing flows as left-behind market segments catch up with the Mag Seven-led U.S. rally.
• Jed Laskowitz of JPMorgan expects U.S. investors to keep diversifying abroad, with emerging markets helped by a weaker dollar and likely lower rates.
• Laskowitz sees active fixed income as a significant opportunity and says JPMorgan is not yet adding private assets to its ETF lineup.
• ICE/NYSE is working with the SEC on a venue for 24/7, fractional, tokenized trading of stocks and ETFs and expects real-world asset tokenization to expand.
• Tuttle Capital launched a meme-stock income ETF that sells puts rather than calls, aimed at investors tired of 3%-4% yields.
• Tuttle's planned political-access ETF (GRFT) remains unlisted, and his UFO Disclosure ETF (UFOD) is a speculative, undisclosed-portfolio concept.
• Tuttle is a sub-adviser on newly launched Trump Media technology ETFs targeting conservative-side demand.
