Bank of America has launched research coverage of cryptocurrency and digital assets due to “growing institutional interest” and the massive appetite among retail clients.
“If you look at the number of corporates mentioning crypto on their earnings calls, that’s gone from about 17 last year to about 147 in the most recent quarter,” Candace Browning, head of global research at BofA Securities, said Monday in an interview on Bloomberg TV’s “Surveillance” show. “This isn’t just Bitcoin anymore, this is digital assets and it’s creating a whole ecosystem of new companies, new opportunities, and new applications.”
