[Vanguard and Other Institutions Expand Access to Crypto ETFs, Potentially Bringing $75 Billion in Additional Funds to Bitcoin] Vanguard and Merrill Lynch have announced the expansion of client access to crypto ETFs, while Charles Schwab plans to allow Bitcoin trading on its platform in the first half of 2026. In the coming months, over $30 trillion in funds could potentially be used to purchase Bitcoin. If just 0.25% of this institutional capital flows into Bitcoin, it is estimated to bring $75 billion in additional buying pressure over the next 12-24 months. With an improved regulatory environment and looser monetary conditions, the Bitcoin market could see strong growth by 2026.
