As reported by U.Today, the banking giant greenlit Bitcoin exposure for a slew of mutual funds, including Institutional Fund, Variable Insurance Fund, Institutional Fund Trust, and others, in late March.   

Europe Opportunity Fund, which holds €1.8 billion worth of assets as of June 25, appears to be the first in line.
