Bank of America has announced that starting January 5, 2026, its wealth advisors at Private Bank, Merrill, and Merrill Edge will be able to recommend crypto asset-related ETPs and ETFs to clients without any account asset threshold. This marks a significant shift from the previous policy, where only clients meeting certain asset criteria could access Bitcoin ETFs from early 2024. The new policy elevates the service from merely executing client instructions to actively providing allocation advice.
