Most new money enters the system by being created via loans ultimately from the federal reserve bank. This is the primary way the money supply expands.
That’s an assumption about what I meant, but the fact is both create money. Banks loan out new money, which must only be matched by deposits equal to a small percentage of their outstanding loans specified by the reserve requirement. Which not too long ago IIRC was temporarily removed entirely.
When they increase the money supply, yes they do.
Loans don’t increase the money supply, though. They increase monetary velocity.

Right but that’s a lot different than the loan being discussed here, which is when the bank capitalizes its own loans via deposits.
