β οΈ Today, Morgan Stanley will begin offering clients the opportunity to invest in Bitcoin ETFs from BlackRock and Fidelity
Morgan Stanley is one of the few banks that hasn't wavered and has consistently supported crypto.
βοΈ A few years ago, they opened up the possibility for their clients to invest in Bitcoin funds, and starting tomorrow, they will be promoting Bitcoin ETFs through 15,000 financial advisors.
In the West, financial advisors have a significant influence on markets, including crypto, so we expect a new influx of liquidity into the market.
One caveat: this opportunity will currently be available only to clients with assets of at least $1.5 million due to the high-risk profile of crypto.
But this is just the beginning. Additionally, other banks are likely to follow this trend over time.

Beyond the high volatility that bitcoin is experiencing, there are macroeconomic factors driven by the United States that can drive its rise.

π With such a context, the investment company expects BTC to test its all-time highs at the end of 2024.
