Bitcoin Explodes With $543 Million in Inflows After Jerome Powell Hints at Rate Cuts in September

The crypto market has recently experienced a significant increase in investments, with Bitcoin leading the way, recording fund inflows of $543 million.

Cryptocurrency market investments have seen a substantial increase, with Bitcoin leading the way with a massive $543 million in fund inflows. This impressive rise comes after comments from Jerome Powell, председатель Федеральной резервной системы, on possible rate cuts in September, which were seen as positive news for BTC and other cryptocurrencies.

As a result of these developments, Bitcoin attracted $543 million in inflows last week, while its transaction volume surged to an impressive $9 billion. This figure marks a significant increase compared to previous weeks.

According to an expert, these fund inflows into Bitcoin are largely influenced by the sensitivity of the cryptocurrency to interest rate expectations. In addition to direct investments in Bitcoin, short-term trading products also attracted $1.7 million, highlighting the growing interest in diversified trading strategies.

However, the scenario was different for other major cryptocurrencies. Ethereum, for instance, experienced fund outflows totaling $36 million last week, which were partly attributed to outflows from the Grayscale Ethereum Trust, despite inflows into new Ethereum ETFs in the United States. Despite this setback, an expert still predicts that ETH will surpass BTC by 2029.

In terms of geographical distribution, the United States dominated Bitcoin fund inflows with $498 million, followed by Hong Kong and Switzerland with $16 million and $14 million, respectively. In contrast, Germany recorded minor fund outflows totaling $9 million, making it one of the few countries to show a net outflow since the beginning of the year.

Powell's recent comments have had a positive impact on cryptocurrency investments, especially in Bitcoin, with increasing transaction volumes. This trend could continue with a cut in interest rates in September, further highlighting Bitcoin's sensitivity to monetary policies.

Moreover, the increasing dominance of Bitcoin is also being fueled by Wall Street, which could propel BTC to become a true store of value in the eyes of investors.
