The Spanish bank allocated 2% of its capital to Aptos

A Spanish bank has recently made a noteworthy investment by allocating 2% of its total assets into Bitwise's Aptos Staking Exchange Traded Product (ETP).

This development was confirmed by Hunter Horsley, the CEO of Bitwise, who took to Twitter to share this significant milestone. In his tweet, he observed a growing trend where more investors, who have become increasingly familiar with the world of cryptocurrency, are starting to interact with traditional financial institutions. This particular investment, executed through one of the bank's various funds, is viewed as a meaningful advancement towards the broader acceptance and integration of digital currencies within conventional finance. Although the name of the bank has not been disclosed at this time, the implications of this investment are noteworthy.

In November, Bitwise made headlines by launching the very first Aptos Staking ETP on the Swiss exchange, which has set an ambitious goal to achieve a return of 4.7% through the staking of Aptos APT tokens. The introduction of this product marks an important step in the intersection of cryptocurrency and traditional finance, as it offers a way for investors to potentially earn returns on their investments in this emerging digital asset. However, despite the excitement surrounding this investment and the introduction of the ETP, the price of Aptos tokens has experienced only a modest increase of 1.4% over the past week. This faint upward movement in price suggests that while institutional interest is growing, the market is still in a tentative stage when it comes to fully embracing digital currencies.
