Breaking News: Mainstream Bank Giants to Offer Bitcoin ETFs by Year's End!

Hey there, crypto enthusiast! Let's talk about the hot Bitcoin news dropping recently. Matt Hougan, CIO of Bitwise, foresees the four biggest banking heavyweights – Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, and UBS – providing Bitcoin ETF services to their customers by the end of 2025[2]. These financial institutions hold staggering assets worth more than $10 trillion combined, so watch out for increased crypto accessibility if Hougan is spot on.

Hougan also puts forth expectations for institutional investors embracing Bitcoin. With milestones continuously being achieved, such as institutional custody, government adoption, and effortless ETF usage, he believes more big-time investors will warm up to the crypto king[2].

"Think about it," Hougan says, "Stuff we never thought possible—like the U.S. government owning Bitcoin or the largest asset manager on the planet digesting the asset—looks less far-fetched than before." The investor predicts that many will follow this line of thought by year's end[2].

Bitcoin trading stands at $93,869 at the time of this writing, experiencing a 1.1% loss during the last 24 hours[2]. Stay tuned for further updates as this story unfolds!
