Bank of America to let advisers pitch Bitcoin ETFs starting today
Summary
Bank of America is now allowing its wealth advisers to pitch Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) to clients, effective immediately. The eligible ETFs include those managed by BlackRock, Fidelity, Bitwise, and Grayscale. This decision marks a significant shift from the bank's previously conservative stance on digital assets. Furthermore, Bank of America endorses a 1% to 4% allocation to digital assets for eligible clients across its Merrill, Bank of America Private Bank, and Merrill Edge platforms. This expansion of access to Bitcoin ETFs through a major financial institution is expected to potentially attract new investors and increase overall market demand.
