The most recent SEC filings show an institutional trend of integrating Bitcoin into their traditional asset management strategies. There have also been reports of a couple of other financial giants, BNP Paribas and BNY Mellon, having holdings in Bitcoin ETFs, which indicates that the traditional investment landscape is moving towards a more broad-based acceptance of digital currencies. 
Concurrently, <a href="https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-element-cse&amp;cx=e6c2264173c544ed8&amp;q=https://coingape.com/bitcoin-etf-america-oldest-bank-bny-mellon-reveals-btc-etf-investments-quarterly-filings/&amp;sa=U&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjA2cXCufSFAxUgXvEDHc7pBW4QFnoECAkQAg&amp;usg=AOvVaw21J2G9GEJ2POvnGgCeommk">BNY Mellon</a> revealed ownership of close to 20,000 shares in IBIT and some 7,000 shares in Grayscale Bitcoin ETF GBTC, while BNP Paribas has around 1,000 shares of IBIT. 
<h2 id="institutional-investments-and-market-dynamics">Institutional Investments and Market Dynamics</h2> 
Bitcoin ETFs are also receiving substantial investments from smaller firms, indicating that institutional involvement with the cryptocurrency market is manifold. 
An example is Quattro Advisors, located in Pittsburgh, which owns 468,200 shares of BlackRock ETF, and Legacy Wealth Management, which reported having more than 350,000 shares of Fidelity ETF. 
In addition, <a href="https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-element-cse&amp;cx=e6c2264173c544ed8&amp;q=https://coingape.com/breaking-hk-firm-becomes-top-holder-in-blackrock-bitcoin-etf-ibit-bloomberg/&amp;sa=U&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiz5oXVufSFAxXa8QIHHaBEA3MQFnoECAAQAg&amp;usg=AOvVaw0FGWMmnXX6OC23rIRYjTqJ">Yong Rong</a>, one of the biggest holders, declared more than $45 million in BlackRock iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT), which indicates the magnitude of the institutional funds that enter Bitcoin-related financial products.

These filings, required for institutions that manage at least $100 million, are an essential tool to evaluate the institutional scenario of investments in cryptocurrencies.
