Share
In short
  • As of Nov 4, 2026, 55 new ETFs launched in October 2026, and 1,687 have launched since Jan 1, 2025.

In plain words

A launch is the first day a fund has a price. ETFIQ checks that day against the issuer’s notice and the SEC filing.

The busiest full month since Jan 1, 2025 was June 2026, with 153 launches; October 2026 had 55. Counts jump when a trust brings out a family of funds at once. A new fund has a short record, so ETFIQ shows how long each has traded.

Questions

How does ETFIQ know a fund has launched?

It looks for the first day a fund has a price and checks it against the issuer’s notice and the SEC filing. A fund that is only filed gets no page.

Where can I see the new ETFs?

The launches page lists every new ETF by month, with its issuer, fee and first-day price where known.

Do new ETFs last?

ETFIQ has marked 38 funds as closed among the launches since Jan 1, 2025. Small funds close more often.
