The increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin is “not hard to see” as U.S. regulators green light custody this week.
The BTC price will pass $20,000 if United States banks invest even 1% of their assets, one analyst believes.
Discussing institutional uptake of Bitcoin on July 23, Capriole digital asset manager Charles Edwards said that it was “not hard to see” the unfolding trend.
“If US banks put just 1% of their assets into Bitcoin as an investment, hedge or insurance… the Bitcoin price more than doubles,” he wrote on Twitter, adding:
“Just 1 NASDAQ stock (Grayscale) already owns 2% of circulating Bitcoin supply today. It’s not hard to see where this is going.”
Edwards uploaded a chart of U.S. banks’ burgeoning asset balances as proof of the potential impact that a lean towards BTC would have on the largest cryptocurrency.
Grayscale, as Cointelegraph reported, is now a giant among Bitcoin hodlers, together with payment company Square responsible for buying up the majority of mined coins this year.
Edwards’ comments are meanwhile timely.
This week, U.S. lenders received the green light from regulators to engage in cryptocurrency custody activities.
Whether an influx from the sector would ultimately benefit Bitcoin as an asset remains a contentious topic.
Previously, concerns circulated that institutional attention in the form of products such as a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) would be detrimental to price discovery.
“It’s not a matter of good or bad, it’s just a fact,” Edwards added.
Nonetheless, other recent moves only serve to reinforce the market’s upward trajectory.
Paul Tudor Jones, the maverick investor who has become increasingly bullish on Bitcoin, recently revealed that he had already put as much as 2% of his wealth in BTC.

Payments Giant Visa Reveals Roadmap to Supporting Bitcoin (BTC) and Cryptocurrency
Visa is laying out its plan to support Bitcoin (BTC) and the cryptocurrency space at large.
In a new blog post, the payments giant says it recognizes the role of digital assets in the future of money.
“The concept of digital currency — or a digital version of cash controlled by a private key — was created more than a decade ago, with the launch of Bitcoin. Today, fiat-backed digital currencies, commonly referred to as “stablecoins,” have emerged as a promising new payment innovation, combining the benefits of digital currencies with the stability of existing currencies like the US dollar.”
Visa is already active in the cryptocurrency space, working with crypto platforms Coinbase and Fold.
The company says it plans to extend its services to digital currency wallets through its FastTrack program, allowing fintechs to integrate with Visa’s global network of 61 million merchants.

$BTCClose above that red line today ($9300) and I might reconsider my short term bearish bias (mid-term bear bias remains).
Close below and I’ll consider shorting more aggressively targeting the green line ($8500) first and green area second (~$7000) pic.twitter.com/ql3cOXKKdQ

The total market cap of crypto will break out (most likely) upwards.
That’s not going to be through $BTC.
That’s going to be through $ETH.
As $ETH is very undervalued.
