A similar setup was observed last June and lasted several days, ultimately pushing Bitcoin toward the $124,000 mark.

These inflows far outstrip Bitcoin’s new supply from mining. As Bitwise’s Head of Research in Europe, Dr. André Dragosch, highlighted on X:

“Over the last five trading days, Bitcoin ETF inflows exceeded new issuance by nearly 9x.”
