Even though Bitcoin naturally has faced a lot of hostility from the banking sector, Bank of America was somehow bullish on the cryptocurrency all the way back in 2013. Back then, the bank's client note stated that the cryptocurrency had a lot of "growth potential."   

Back in January, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan said that he would separate stablecoins from the rest of cryptocurrencies. He also predicted that the banking sector would make moves into crypto "from a transactional side."

Last March, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that Bank of America was exploring launching a stablecoin in tandem with other US banking institutions in order to counter growing competition from cryptocurrency-native firm.

In February, the bank revealed that it had some minor exposure to Bitcoin-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs). 

It should be noted that Bank of America already has hundreds of patents focused on blockchain technology.
