Financial services giant Morgan Stanley released guidelines for cryptocurrency allocation in multi-asset portfolios to investment advisors in its Global Investment Committee (GIC) report published in October, recommending a "conservative" allocation strategy.

Morgan Stanley's analysts suggest that in an "Opportunistic Growth" portfolio, which targets higher risk and high returns, the allocation to cryptocurrency can be as high as 4%.

For a "Balanced Growth" portfolio, which has a moderate risk level, analysts recommend a maximum cryptocurrency allocation of 2%. However, the report suggests a 0% allocation for wealth preservation and income-oriented portfolios. The report states:

Hunter Horsley, CEO of investment management firm Bitwise, called the report "significant news." He stated, "The Global Investment Committee (GIC) provides guidance to 16,000 advisors managing $20 trillion in client assets. We are entering the mainstream era of cryptocurrency."

Morgan Stanley's report reflects the increasing adoption and acceptance of cryptocurrency by institutions, especially among large banks and financial services companies. This trend has brought more capital inflow into the cryptocurrency market and further solidified the legitimate status of cryptocurrency as an asset class.

Morgan Stanley's analysts view Bitcoin (BTC) as a "scarce asset, akin to digital gold," noting that it is increasingly being adopted by institutions, both as a corporate treasury reserve asset and through investment tools like exchange-traded funds (ETFs) entering the mainstream market.

According to data from Glassnode, Bitcoin's price broke $125,000 on Saturday, reaching an all-time high. At the same time, the amount of Bitcoin held on exchanges for trading has dropped to its lowest level in six years, indicating a continued tightening of market supply.

Bitcoin surged to an all-time high against the backdrop of the U.S. government shutdown and the rise in prices of safe-haven assets, value storage, and risk assets.

Investment analysts from The Kobeissi Letter stated on Sunday, "The market is currently experiencing a comprehensive asset buying spree. As inflation rises and the labor market weakens, investors are flocking to various assets."
