Bitcoin Gets the Green Light—But Ether Remains an Open Question

[cryptobro]

For now, Bank of America’s crypto coverage is strictly Bitcoin-focused. CIO guidance frames Bitcoin as a potential 1%–4% portfolio allocation for appropriate clients, backed by research, formal allocation papers, and adviser training across the firm’s 15,000-strong adviser network.

What remains unclear is whether Ether will receive similar treatment in the future. Industry observers suggest that any expansion beyond Bitcoin will depend on liquidity, market maturity, and the ability to support institutional execution at scale—making Bitcoin the clear first step, but not necessarily the last.
