Big US banks expanding crypto services with BofA advising 4% allocation
Bank of America officially started advising wealth management clients to allocate up to 4% of their portfolios to digital assets. They began coverage of four Bitcoin ETFs this week. Morgan Stanley also joined in today by filing for Bitcoin and Solana ETFs.
It looks like a broader trend of traditional finance moving in. JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Charles Schwab are expanding their trading and custody options. US Bank resumed Bitcoin custody for institutional managers citing better regulatory clarity.
On the corporate treasury side, Eric Trump announced that American Bitcoin is now the 19th largest public holder. Market reaction was mild in the pre-market, though Core Scientific was up about 3.7%.

Big banks finally stopped fighting it and started joining it. When BofA is talking portfolio allocations and everyone from Morgan Stanley to JPM is rolling out ETFs and custody, that’s not fringe anymore. TradFi quietly walking into crypto while acting like it was always part of the plan.

Totally, feels like crypto is finally getting the “official” stamp from big traditional banks.
