Recently, Bank of New York Mellon disclosed its investment portfolio to the public, revealing its gradual increase in digital assets. As of the end of the fourth quarter, the bank held more than $13 million in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), a move that undoubtedly indicates that the pace of investment by traditional financial institutions in the field of digital assets is accelerating.
According to documents disclosed by the SEC, Bank of New York Mellon's asset allocation includes 115,108 shares of WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund (BTCW), with a market value of approximately US$11.87 million, and 25,309 shares of BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), with a market value of approximately US$1.4 million.

As the world's leading custodial bank and a long-established financial institution in the United States, Bank of New York Mellon recently disclosed its investment in a Bitcoin ETF.
According to SEC filings, the bank has participated in Bitcoin ETF products offered by well-known asset management company BlackRock and Grayscale, which focuses on cryptocurrency investments. This action reflects the growing interest of institutional investors in the cryptocurrency asset class.
At the beginning of 2023, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved multiple spot Bitcoin ETFs, which was seen as a major benefit to U.S. cryptocurrency investors. The SEC’s decision was made against the backdrop of continued and strong market demand for such financial products. With the approval of ETFs, the cryptocurrency market has experienced significant growth, with Bitcoin prices hitting an all-time high of $73,737 in March, demonstrating strong interest from institutional investors in the emerging asset class.
