Wells Fargo has launched Bitcoin-backed loans for institutional and wealth clients, accepting BTC or spot bitcoin ETFs as collateral. The shift follows Basel III reforms and regulatory updates. U.S. banks like JPMorgan, Citi, and Schwab are also expanding similar services. Around $50 billion in new credit lines have been issued since September 2025. Liquidity and crypto markets are seeing increased institutional participation, as confirmed by Michael Saylor of MicroStrategy. Banks have moved from caution to active engagement in the past year.
