Perspectives and forecasts
According to a new study by River - a financial services company specializing in Bitcoin, nearly 60% of the largest banks in the US currently provide or are expected to provide Bitcoin-related services.
This analysis examines Bitcoin-related depository services, transactions and products at the 25 largest banks in the US by total assets, showing that more and more organizations have launched products, announced plans or are actively seeking to serve customers who need to access Bitcoin.
Citigroup and Fifth Third are assessing the deployment of both deposit and transaction services, while some banks access Bitcoin indirectly, such as American Express through Bitcoin reward cards and USAA through integration with exchanges.
Although market momentum is increasing, a significant number of major banks in the US have not yet announced products or plans related to Bitcoin.
Even banks that have not yet provided Bitcoin products directly are gradually relaxing their views. Typically, Bank of America recently recommended that customers allocate a maximum of 4% of their portfolio to cryptocurrencies.
Along with that, Bank of America also announced plans to begin monitoring and analyzing four spot Bitcoin ETF funds listed in the US, including products from Bitwise, Fidelity, Grayscale and BlackRock.
These ETF funds provide direct access to Bitcoin and have been approved by US regulators since last year.
For investors who are strongly interested in thematic innovation and are able to accept high volatility, a modest allocation of 1% to 4% to digital assets may be appropriate," said Chris Hyzy, Investment Director of Bank of America Private Bank.
