AI SUMMARY
●Vanguard reverses ban, opening platform to crypto ETFs for 50 million clients.
●Access is limited to five assets: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and HBAR.
●Analyst warns this scarcity creates a structural advantage and capital concentration.
Vanguard has officially opened its investment platform to Bitcoin and crypto-related ETFs, marking a definitive reversal of its long-standing policy against offering digital asset products. The world's second-largest asset manager, which had been a notable holdout among top firms, now allows trading of a curated selection of assets.
The platform currently limits access to just five cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and the newly added Hedera (HBAR). This restrictive approach effectively filters the vast crypto market down to a handful of beneficiaries for Vanguard's massive client base.
[Update 1]
Analyst aixbt has highlighted the potential market impact of this limited selection. With Vanguard's 50 million clients restricted to just five assets, the analyst argues there is a "structural advantage" for these specific tokens. This scarcity on such a major traditional finance platform is expected to create a mathematical concentration of capital inflows, as retirement capital is funneled into a very small basket of eligible cryptocurrencies.
