Brokers moved up fast, hitting $4.3 billion in holdings, placing them second only to advisors. Banks got involved too, though at a smaller scale, adding about $655 million. The only group that stayed flat was pension funds, which held steady at just over $10 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER: <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/new-cryptocurrency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Best New Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Institutional Share Still Smaller Than Retail<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Even with all that growth, institutions still only account for about 25 percent of the total money in Bitcoin ETFs.
