💼 Bank of America Adds Crypto to Its Official Allocation Models

Yesterday it was Vanguard. Today it’s Bank of America.

More and more TradFi giants are reversing course on crypto.

📌 What Happened

Bank of America’s wealth division has added crypto to its model portfolios for the first time, recommending a 1% to 4% allocation for clients.

The new framework lists digital assets as an acceptable small allocation alongside other alternative investments and will be used by Merrill Wealth Management and Merrill Edge advisors going forward (along with new pitch materials).

The recommendation applies to both high-net-worth and mass-affluent clients.

This change came just a day after Vanguard expanded access to spot Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP ETFs after a multi-year holdout.

The market liked the news, with Bitcoin legging up 2% to near $93,000 and other crypto majors like ETH and SOL jumping 9-10%.

🗣️ What Are They Saying

“For investors with a strong interest in thematic innovation and comfort with elevated volatility, a modest allocation of 1% to 4% in digital assets could be appropriate.” – Chris Hyzy, Bank of America Private Bank’s chief investment officer

🧠 Why It Matters

BofA’s decision is just the latest in a series of putting crypto alongside all other top investable assets for wealth management clients.

For many clients, allocations are driven by advisor guidance. Not individual research or selection.

So inclusion in these models can majorly influence adoption.

And the impact of recommendations like this is twofold:

  • upfront portfolio re-balancing (bigger, one-time flows)
  • ongoing buying as funds are directed into the market (the infinite twap)

As a reminder, Bank of America isn’t alone in these recommendations.

Fidelity has provided portfolio allocation guidance of 2-5% to BTC with up to 7.5% for younger investors.

Soon enough, these allocations will be standard across all wealth management providers…

Edges higher ahead of BoC-Fed policy outcome

Edges higher ahead of BoC-Fed policy outcome

The post Edges higher ahead of BoC-Fed policy outcome appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CAD gains marginally to near 1.3760 ahead of monetary policy announcements by the Fed and the BoC. Both the Fed and the BoC are expected to lower interest rates. USD/CAD forms a Head and Shoulder chart pattern. The USD/CAD pair ticks up to near 1.3760 during the late European session on Wednesday. The Loonie pair gains marginally ahead of monetary policy outcomes by the Bank of Canada (BoC) and the Federal Reserve (Fed) during New York trading hours. Both the BoC and the Fed are expected to cut interest rates amid mounting labor market conditions in their respective economies. Inflationary pressures in the Canadian economy have cooled down, emerging as another reason behind the BoC’s dovish expectations. However, the Fed is expected to start the monetary-easing campaign despite the United States (US) inflation remaining higher. Investors will closely monitor press conferences from both Fed Chair Jerome Powell and BoC Governor Tiff Macklem to get cues about whether there will be more interest rate cuts in the remainder of the year. According to analysts from Barclays, the Fed’s latest median projections for interest rates are likely to call for three interest rate cuts by 2025. Ahead of the Fed’s monetary policy, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, holds onto Tuesday’s losses near 96.60. USD/CAD forms a Head and Shoulder chart pattern, which indicates a bearish reversal. The neckline of the above-mentioned chart pattern is plotted near 1.3715. The near-term trend of the pair remains bearish as it stays below the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which trades around 1.3800. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) slides to near 40.00. A fresh bearish momentum would emerge if the RSI falls below that level. Going forward, the asset could slide towards the round level of…
