This US banking giant which has been the first bank equally reported previously last few months to commence offering it's private investors access to Bitcoin funds made the purchase of this huge amount of GBTC with four different funds within its control.

The Crypto market capital has further seen a great upliftment over the weekend with Morgan Stanley one of the wealthiest US Bank moving to buy over $250 million worth of Grayscale Bitcoin (GBTC) shares.

This giant back has stood out among others in promoting Crypto trading, recall that early this year this same Bank has been reported as the first big U.S. bank to offer its wealthy investors access to bitcoin funds.

The details of this purchase following the filings from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shows that this giant banking institution worth over $4trillion from the investment entrusted to it by investors had proceeded to invest in GBTC through four different funds in the orders below:

The investment banks Insight Fund – which has over $10 billion in assets – purchased 928,051 shares of GBTC worth $36.19 million.

The four funds bought a total of 6,491,686 shares of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust worth $253.17 million. Following the insights from the SEC's records, it was evident that Morgan Stanleys round of investments was made prior to the June 30th reporting period, suggesting that the banking giant loaded up on GBTC shares while Bitcoin was trading close to $30,000 but never disclosed such at that point only to reveal same now that the Bullish market seem to have fully resumed again.

However, this positive news of a huge purchase of Bitcoin by Morgan Stanley will definitely trigger more buys from other financial institutions. It is hoped that more banks will follow suit as well as other wealthy private investors. We hope to see Bitcoin soar higher all the more in the coming weeks.
