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.   

Earlier this year, Morgan Stanley also enabled Bitcoin exposure for its wealthy clients by opening access to external crypto funds.
