Bank of America allows a 4% BTC allocation, but don't underestimate this percentage.

The key is not how high 4% itself is, but that it marks the first time the traditional wealth management system has openly drawn a numerical boundary. What does this signify? Bitcoin has officially moved from the "completely off-limits" zone into the framework of standard asset allocation discussions.

Compared to a scale of $1.7 trillion, this seemingly insignificant allocation ratio actually opens a big door. Long-term capital begins to have clear entry guidance, rather than relying on retail investor sentiment or short-term speculative signals.

Will the price immediately skyrocket? Honestly, not necessarily. But such policy changes will quietly alter two things—first, the pace of institutional entry will become more regular; second, during market declines, it will no longer be a free fall, and the bottom support will be significantly stronger.

To put it simply, the role of Bitcoin is changing. It is transforming from an "option" into a "long-term essential asset that can never be held empty." The significance of this shift far exceeds a mere percentage number.

ngl, this 4% thing is exactly the kind of institutional gatekeeping that makes me paranoid... they're literally drawing the line where *they* want it, not where it should be. smart money move though, can't deny that.

Oh my, it's really coming now. Traditional finance is open, how else can we play?

Wait, is Bank of America really easing up? 4% doesn't seem like much, but this is truly a signal... From the forbidden zone to standard, the only thing missing in between is just this one document.

Wow, this is the real turning point. From the forbidden zone to standard equipment, the financial giant has finally admitted defeat. The key is the regular rhythm of institutional capital entering the market; retail investors' emotional fluctuations no longer have any tricks up their sleeves. 4% sounds not much, but 1.7 trillion at 4%... have you calculated how much that is? Feels like the bottom is about to stabilize, the kind of feeling that it won't fall anymore. Bitcoin has finally shifted from gambling to allocation; the era is indeed different.

4% may seem small, but this is the first time traditional finance has officially assigned a "formal identity" to BTC, and the meaning is completely different. Institutions are really starting to move, and the era of retail investors' frenzy is considered to be over.

4% may not seem like much, but it's a signal that traditional finance is waving goodbye to us... Things that were once "off-limits" are now becoming "standard," and it feels like the times are really changing.

Wow, this is the key. The game rules have completely changed from "cannot touch" to "must match." Once institutions start moving, the days of retail investors chasing highs will be over. It's stable. 4% may not sound like much, but it's a breakthrough. There are more big players waiting to enter the market. So, there's really no need to fear the bottom. Large funds are quietly building their positions. Wait, does this mean BTC has already become the "standard configuration"? Then I need to add more to my position. This is the institutional dividend, more reliable than any technical analysis.
