BNY Mellon Discloses BTC ETF Investments in 13F Filings
BNY Mellon’s latest Form 13F filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission has reverberated throughout the global crypto community. The bank’s investments in BlackRock and Grayscale Bitcoin ETFs are not just a mere local development, but a global sign of the increasing acceptance and adoption of cryptocurrencies within the traditional financial landscape.
Notably, Form 13F by the U.S. SEC requires a quarterly report to be filed by all institutional investment managers with at least $100 million in assets under management. Aligning with this, BNY reported that it had assets worth $2.02 trillion under its management (AUM), per Q1 2024 data, with the BTC ETFs included. Whereas, the entity also held $48.8 trillion in assets under custody or administration.
This underscored the burgeoning institutional interest in the much-recently revealed Bitcoin ETFs following the U.S. SEC’s approval. Meanwhile, BNY Mellon revealed that the two ETFs it holds are the industry’s two largest Bitcoin ETF products, GBTC (Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF) & BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF (IBIT).
Other companies that have filed 13F with the U.S. SEC include Apple Inc., Amazon, Microsoft, and many others.
