Bitwise’s chief investment officer Matt Hougan said in an Aug. 21 thread on X that Bitcoin ETFs are the “fastest-growing ETFs of all-time.” After the investment products pulled in over $17.5 billion since their launch in January, the funds are on track to “smash the previous record,” which is held by the Nasdaq-100 QQQs, he added.

 2/ Bitcoin ETFs are the fastest-growing ETFs of all-time. They've pulled in $17.5 billion in net flows since launching in January. This is on pace to smash the previous ETF record, held by the Nasdaq-100 QQQs, which gathered ~$5 billion in their first year. It's not even close.

Most of the interest in spot Bitcoin ETFs comes from retail investors, Hougan said in the thread. While around 79% of the current Bitcoin ETF assets under management (AUM) is held by retail traders, he <a href="https://x.com/Matt_Hougan/status/1826258125227503940" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a> that Bitcoin ETFs are “by far the leaders in terms of institutional adoption.”

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s comments, “The time has come for policy to adjust,” signaled the Fed’s confidence that inflation is returning to target and caused the <a href="https://insidebitcoins.com/news/bitcoin-price-prediction-btc-pumps-9-in-a-week-but-analysts-say-this-gamefi-gem-might-be-the-next-to-explode" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin price</a> to rally, pushing it above the $62,000 resistance level. As a result, the market now expects a potential rate cut in the next FOMC meeting, which will happen on Sept. 17. &nbsp;<a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinMarketCap</a> data shows that the leading crypto is up by more than 8% over the past week to trade at $63,386 as of 11:25 p.m. EST.
Despite a dovish tone, Bank of America (BofA) notes that Chairman Powell did not indicate the need for 50bp cuts but suggested gradual cuts, with 50bp cuts likely only if recession risks increase significantly.&nbsp;&nbsp;
