Roundhill Memory ETF Nears Split After 78% Surge and $10 Billion Asset Haul

3 articles · Updated · The Motley Fool · Jul 2

Summary

  • $81 at its peak from a $26 April 2 launch has put Roundhill's DRAM ETF on a path where a share split later this year looks likely, after a record-fast climb in both price and assets.
  • Nearly $10 billion flowed into the fund in less than 45 days as investors chased AI memory exposure, with demand for high-bandwidth memory chips outstripping supply and lifting prices across the sector.
  • About 80% of the ETF sits in four companies—Micron, SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics and Sandisk—making it a concentrated wager on the memory supply chain rather than a broad tech fund.
  • SK Hynix has risen roughly 300% this year and Samsung about 195%, reflecting a structural AI trend in which larger models and inference workloads require more HBM per accelerator, even as memory's cyclical risks remain.
