An increasing number of institutions are gaining exposure to Bitcoin, with notable recent examples being Wells Fargo, the third-largest bank in the United States, disclosing holdings in a spot Bitcoin ETF. 🏦 

Furthermore, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) this week revealed that 186 wealth managers reported owning Bitcoin ETFs.

Despite the current downward trend in the markets, which analysts view as a normal correction, expectations are high for alt season to follow once the correction has concluded.

The institutional interest demonstrated by major players like Wells Fargo and numerous wealth managers is a great bullish sign for crypto.
