The economic advisory and shares company Interactive Brokers has included a purchase and sale service for four specific cryptocurrencies.

From October 18, users of Paxos Trust Company will be able to trade and guard bitcoin, ethereum, bitcoin cash and litecoin.

The firm reported that this service was currently available only to its advisers in the United States, but it planned to enable cryptocurrency trading for all of its clients globally in the future.

“The allocation of a small percentage of assets to cryptocurrencies as part of a well-diversified portfolio has become increasingly common, and advisers may want to recommend cryptocurrencies to their clients,” said the executive vice president of marketing and development of Interactive Brokers products, Steve Sanders.

Based in the US, Interactive Brokers falls under the purview of regulators such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. As of October 1st, the company declared 1.54 million customer accounts with $ 353.8 million in assets.

Wells Fargo’s high-value clients will be able to expose themselves to Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies. This was reported by a spokesman for the American multinational, joining the growing list of traditional financial institutions that offer investment opportunities in virtual currencies to their clients.

The information does not explain how the financial institution will carry out the process so that its users can invest in Bitcoin and other cryptographic assets, which could be through “the direct purchase of Bitcoin or through a second order of price exposure, like bitcoin in grayscale.”

As will be recalled, last May Wells Fargo’s investment research division, Wealth and Investment Management, reported that it had been working on the evaluation of a strategy that would allow it to incorporate cryptocurrencies for qualified investors into its platform.

It was estimated that for the month of June the institution would offer its new investment products in Bitcoin and cryptography, but it is now, a month and a half later, that clients will be able to invest in crypto through the company.

Institutional adoption of virtual currencies, especially Bitcoin, is growing and large traditional organizations are entering this market. Recently, JP Morgan Chase, an American multinational investment bank, also announced that its clients can be exposed to various crypto assets: Bitcoin (BTC ), Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Ethereum Classic (ETC).
