2024-04-27 18:53:10 BNY Mellon invests in Bitcoin ETFs as institutional interest grows

BNY Mellon, the world’s largest custodian bank and the oldest in the U.S., has recently disclosed its investment in Bitcoin ETFs.

According to an SEC filing, the bank is exposed to BTC ETFs offered by BlackRock and Grayscale, underscoring the growing institutional interest in cryptocurrencies.

The U.S. SEC’s approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs earlier this year marked a significant milestone for American crypto investors. This decision came after prolonged investor demand for such financial instruments.

ETF anticipation and subsequent approval triggered a surge in the crypto market, propelling BTC to a new all-time high of $73,737 in March. The demand for Bitcoin (BTC) ETF exposure reflects a broader trend of institutional investors warming up to the emerging asset class. Open / Comment
