ETFs In 2025: Fee Wars, Crypto Booms, And The Risks Ahead
The ETF market is never dull, and 2025 promises to be no exception.
In a podcast discussion on Bloomberg, The ETF Store, Inc. President Nate Geraci, along with Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas and Vilna Hyek shared their thoughts on what lies ahead. Here’s a look at the predictions shaping the conversation.
First up: A fee war. Geraci believes we’re about to see some serious competition among the biggest S&P 500 ETFs. Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSE:VOO) and iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (NYSE:IVV) are duking it out to become the market favorite.
With fees already thin at 0.02% and 0.03% respectively, any further cuts could make headlines. “It’s about capturing that top spot,” said Geraci. Vanguard has a history of passing cost savings to investors as funds grow. It’s a win for consumers, but it could squeeze margins for providers.
