CNBC has learned that bank giant Morgan Stanley will offer its client access to Bitcoin. According to an internal memo by the banking institution, crypto firm Galaxy Digital and FS NYDIG will enable the product.

— NYDIG (@NYDIG) March 17, 2021

With over $4 trillion in assets under management, Morgan Stanley has become the first major U.S. bank to launch a product to grant its client exposure to the cryptocurrency. Sources quoted by CNBC claimed the decision was taken after Morgan Stanley receive pressure from its clients.

Access to Bitcoin, but not for everyone

However, only those individuals with over $5 million will be able to qualify for the funds. Morgan Stanley claims BTC is only suitable for those with “an aggressive risk tolerance”. Even those clients will be allowed to put 2.5% of their funds into the cryptocurrency.

Therefore, the minimum investments for the funds will be $25,000 for the Galaxy Bitcoin Fund LP and FS NYDIG Select Fund. The Galaxy Institutional Bitcoin Fund LP will require clients to invest $5 million, as a minimum. CEO of Galaxy Digital, Mike Novogratz, said:

Galaxy is thrilled to partner with Morgan Stanley, the first US bank to offer Wealth Management clients access to bitcoin funds.

In parallel, a report by Morgan Stanley claims Bitcoin is reaching the point of becoming an “investable asset class”. The report is careful about making a direct recommendation to clients looking to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency. However, it claims BTC could be at a critical point for adoption.

With cryptocurrency, we think that threshold is being reached. A firming regulatory framework, deepening liquidity, availability of products and growing investor interest—especially among institutional investors—have coalesced.

The report also suggests an “investment strategy” with a small (2.5%) position in BTC, hold in the form of publicly-traded products. In the U.S., investors have limited options to follow the report’s suggestion.

But just like Morgan Stanley’s client, regulators in that country have been receiving a lot of pressure from institutions looking to gain exposure to BTC. The report states:

Our initial modeling, replicated in spirit by a recently published CFA Institute study, suggests diversification benefits from the low correlation of cryptocurrency to other assets and that Sharpe ratio improvements can be achieved with positions no greater than 2.5%. It is important to keep in mind that we are only in the top of the first inning.

However, Bitcoin’s price has shown little reaction to the news. At the time of writing, BTC trades for $55,591 with gains side movement during the past day and a small gain of 1.4% in the last hour.

Over the past year, BTC shows an increase of 1,007% driving by institutional adoption. Morgan Stanley’s funds are sure to continue to strengthen BTC’s place as a world-grade store of value.

Reynaldo Marquez

A literature major, Reynaldo Márquez has been deeply immersed in the crypto industry since 2017. His journey began with translating articles for various crypto news outlets, a role he took on with zeal. In 2018, amidst a challenging market, he embraced his first writing assignment, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to the nascent industry and the promise of change it bears for many people worldwide.
In March 2021, he joined the prestigious crypto news outlet NewsBTC and Bitcoinist, where he not only reported on the latest crypto news but also had the privilege of interviewing some of the industry's most influential figures. A year later, his dedication and hard work were recognized, and he was promoted to Managing Editor, a position he currently holds with pride.
He believes in honesty, good communication, hard work, and the power of cryptocurrency and its potential to transform people's lives, especially those alienated by the legacy financial system. Born in 1992 in Venezuela, Reynaldo is familiar with how governments and central banks can negatively affect people, their everyday lives, and their futures by creating inflation and erasing their hopes for a better future. Thus, like many Venezuelans, he embraced this new technology to help him and his family navigate difficult times.
In another life, Reynaldo would have pursued a career as an investigator, most likely tracking down the origins of the Cyberpunk movement with the publication of William Gibson’s ‘Neuromancer.’ The intersection between fiction and reality, with the materialization of Bitcoin in 2009, would have allowed him to dive deep into the crypto sphere as something more than a financial phenomenon but also a cultural shift in society that was brewing since the XX century, and maybe even sooner, in the XIX century with the publication of Henry David Thoreau’s ‘Civil Disobedience.’
But that’s for another life. In this one, Reynaldo has been trading to improve his trading skills. Since 2023, he has been trying to learn Python to create successful strategies and find ways to execute them. It is a difficult task, which continues to keep him busy today and will most likely continue to keep him busy in the near and long term.
In his free time, he enjoys lifting heavy objects, reading, watching movies, and listening to his favorite music. Some of his favorite authors are Walt Whitman, William Faulkner, Allen Ginsberg, James Baldwin, Raymond Carver, Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, Mario Vargas Llosa, Reinaldo Arenas, Rafael Cadenas, and many others. Lately, he has been primarily interested in reading about dystopic societies, a topic that deeply resonates with the crypto industry.
Since 2023, he has lived in Spain with his wife. He loves the weather, the food, and the people and their culture. They both expect to travel much more within the country they now call home and beyond its border. He hopes to retire with his wife, maybe in a quiet place near a beach, but most likely in a city close to a library and a university with his kids and, hopefully, grandkids.
