“# Morgan Stanley introduces Bitcoin investing for millionaire clients <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Institutional banking powerhouse Morgan Stanley seems to have given Bitcoin its nod of app<\/a>roval. Based on fresh intel via an \u201cinternal memo\u201d, as reported on by CNBC, Morgan Stanley will give clients access to Bitcoin (BTC) investing, though only under specific conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe investment bank, a giant in wealth management with $4 trillion<\/a> in client assets, told its financial advisors Wednesday in an internal memo that it is launching access to three funds that enable ownership of bitcoin, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter,\u201d CNBC reported<\/a> on Wednesday. The opportunity is expected to open in April, according to the sources. <\/p>\n

Bitcoin interest from mainstream finance has risen significantly over the past year or so, with players such as MicroStrategy, Tesla, and Square buying large stacks of BTC.<\/p>\n

Participants in Morgan Stanley\u2019s wealth management wing can gain access to Bitcoin through Galaxy Digital\u2019s Bitcoin Fund LP and Institutional Bitcoin Fund LP, as well as FS Investments\u2019 FS NYDIG Select Fund, although allocation is capped at 2.5% of each client\u2019s overall wealth.<\/p>\n

Clients must also carry accredited investor status, hold capital at Morgan Stanley valuing $2 million or more, and maintain a certain account history. That minimum raises to $5 million for investment firm clientele. Each fund also comes with minimum investment conditions, CNBC noted. <\/p>\n

Bitcoin has come a long way since its inception in 2009. Rising in price from less than $1 to\u00a0up past $60,000, BTC is now widely accepted as a viable investment. Bigger than numerous notable companies, Bitcoin’s total market cap has also surpassed the $1 trillion mark. Although it has gained significant status in the public eye, BTC still has ground to cover in terms of becoming a staple in the investing world.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
