French banking giant Societe Generale has introduced new services for its institutional clients as they try to cater to a growing demand for bitcoin exposure among investors.

The new offerings will allow asset manager customers of the bank to offer bitcoin and cryptocurrency funds “in a simple and adapted manner, within the European regulatory framework,” Societe Generale said in a declaraţie.

„Din ce în ce mai mulți investitori doresc să integreze criptomonedele în portofoliile lor”, conform declarației. „Companiile de administrare a activelor caută, prin urmare, să construiască noi game de soluții investite în principal în active digitale.”

The bank said that the services have already been adopted by independent asset manager Arquant Capital SAS to launch a bitcoin fund under French law.

„Această soluție oferă Arquant Capital o structurare inovatoare care ne permite să ne extindem oferta și să ne concentrăm pe crearea de valoare pentru clienții noștri”, a declarat Eron Angjele, CEO al Arquant Capital.

The Bitcoin bear market hasn’t slowed down institutional interest in the digital currency. On Tuesday, news surfaced that the world’s second largest stock exchange, Nasdaq, was preparing to launch bitcoin and cryptocurrency custody services for institutions. On the same day, Bitcoin bull firm MicroStrategy a anunțat că a achiziționat mai multe BTC, adding up to a stack that now totals 130,000 bitcoin accumulated.
