]]>In what comes as an unprecedented disclosure, BNY Mellon (Bank of New York), one of the oldest banks in America, recently revealed that the firm owns substantial investments in Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded-funds), according to the company’s quarterly filings. This has ignited a buzz across the global cryptocurrency landscape, particularly among institutional investors, marking a notable stride in traditional financial industries’ adoption of cryptocurrencies. Let’s take a closer look at BNY’s investment into BTC ETFs which ignited a sense of frenzy nationwide
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).

In the interim, with BlackRock’s IBIT ETF witnessing 0 inflows for the second consecutive day, dwindling capital inflow in the asset has sparked concerns. Nonetheless, BNY’s filings underscore an increased adoption of cryptos among traditional finance players.

Prominent crypto asset management firm Grayscale has removed two high-profile digital assets, Cardano and Cosmos, from its multi-asset funds as part of its quarterly fund rebalancing.
In an April 4 press statement, the firm revealed that it removed Cardano from its Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) and Cosmos’s ATOM token from the Grayscale Smart Contract Platform Ex-Ethereum Fund (GSCPxE).
According to the firm, the changes were prompted by CoinDesk’s recent rebalancing of its industry sector indices. Grayscale further explained that the components and weightings of each asset are determined according to each index’s methodology and are subject to change without notice.
Consequently, the Cardano held in GDLC was sold off, with the proceeds reinvested in other fund components based on their weightings. The fund’s current weightings include over 70% Bitcoin, 21.84% Ethereum, 4.52% Solana, and less than 3% in XRP and Avalanche.
Similarly, Cosmos was divested from GSCPxE, and the proceeds were utilized to acquire other fund components in proportion. As such, the fund has shifted in its weightings, now encompassing 58.4% of Solana, 14.56% Cardano, 12.25% Avalanche, 8.53% Polkadot, and 6.25% Polygon.
Meanwhile, no new tokens were added or removed from the DeFi Fund, which consists of 48% of Uniswap, 20.41% of MakerDAO, and 13.17% of liquid staking protocol Lido. The lending platform Aave holds 9.99% of the funds, and Synthetix holds 7.69%.
ADA and ATOM have faced notable declines during the past day, corresponding with the broader crypto market struggles during the reporting period.
According to CryptoSlate’s data, the top two digital assets, Bitcoin and Ethereum, recorded losses of 0.61% and 3.66%, respectively.
Similarly, Cardano’s ADA and Cosmos’s ATOM fell by approximately 4% to $0.56 and $10.7, respectively, continuing a downward trend that has seen them shed double-digits during the past month.
Meanwhile, other large-cap assets like Solana and Avalanche’s AVAX saw bigger losses, plunging by more than 5% during the reporting period.
