Some observers suggest that a portion of the money may be "borrowing" Bitcoin exposure through derivatives or structured products rather than directly purchasing spot BTC, thereby inflating inflow figures. This has sparked new debates about how to interpret ETF data. Distinguishing "real money" from "rented faith" has become a critical consideration for investors.
