Bitcoin ETFs: Inflows exceed mining by nine times

Bitcoin ETFs are experiencing a renaissance. After declining inflows in August, index funds from BlackRock, Fidelity, Bitwise, and others are making a comeback.
Last week alone, $2.34 billion flowed into ETFs. On Friday, September 12 alone, the index funds recorded a net inflow of $642 million, according to data from SoSoValue and Farside Investors.
The inflow significantly exceeds the creation of new Bitcoin through mining, as Bitwise's Head of Research, Europe, Dr. André Dragosch, writes on the X platform.
“Over the past five trading days, inflows into Bitcoin ETFs have exceeded new supply by 8.93 times.”

In the wake of the upcoming interest rate decision by the US Federal Reserve (Fed), prices on the crypto markets are rising significantly. A majority of investors expect Fed Chair Powell to announce a rate cut on Wednesday, September 17. This is likely to further boost the markets.
While Bitcoin ETFs track the price of Bitcoin, they don't offer the true attributes of Bitcoin itself. Anyone who truly wants to benefit from Bitcoin's censorship resistance and independence will likely have to invest in real, physical Bitcoin. On regulated and reputable platforms like Bitpanda, Bitcoin can be purchased just as securely and easily as ETFs – with the key advantage: full control remains with the investor.
