4,000 institutional funds in Germany can now invest 20% of their portfolios in crypto assets – regulation Bitcoin News

Around 4,000 institutional funds with almost 2 trillion euros of managed assets in Germany can now invest 20% of their portfolio in crypto currencies including Bitcoin.

  • On July 1st, the eagerly awaited Fund Location Act came into force in Germany. The German Bundestag, the Bundestag, approved the law on April 22nd.
  • Under this law, new and existing domestic special funds are allowed to invest up to 20% of their portfolio in crypto-assets such as Bitcoin.
  • There are around 4,000 such special funds covered by this law. According to a report by BVI Investments, 1.88 trillion euros (2.23 trillion US dollars) were invested in open special funds without real estate special funds at the end of December 2020.

  • If all special funds were to allocate the full 20% in cryptocurrency, this would correspond to more than 376 billion euros (446 billion US dollars).
  • Specialty funds are traditionally open, regulated mutual funds limited to institutional investors such as financial institutions, insurance companies, corporations, foundations, and churches.
