Welcome to ETF Zoo, the podcast where we check into recent happenings in the wild world of ETFs. Hosts Dave Nadig, President and Director of Research at ETF.com, alongside Sumit Roy, Senior ETF Analyst at ETF.com, are joined each episode by a rotating cast of ETF industry experts. Together they delve into the latest ETF news and hottest trends to break down what it all actually means for advisors and investors.
With the CLARITY Act dead, the SEC and CFTC are writing crypto rules on their own. Is that progress, or a pile of future lawsuits? ETF.com's Dave Nadig and Sumit Roy are joined by Nate Geraci (Novadius), Brent Sullivan (Tax Alpha Insider), and Mike Akins (ETF Action) to dig into Treasury's crackdown on 351 exchanges, box spreads, and dividend-avoidance ETFs. They also cover the shift in flows toward fixed income, the case against single-stock covered calls, and a wave of head-scratching launches, from a binary bet on S&P 10,000 to OpenAI exposure via perpetual futures swaps. Plus, the crypto rally that skipped Bitcoin, and the innovations that U.S. investors are missing out on.
