Vanguard Reverses Crypto ETF Ban, Triggers $200 Billion Market Surge

The post Vanguard Reverses Crypto ETF Ban, Triggers $200 Billion Market Surge appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. // News Reading time: 2 min Published: Dec 05, 2025 at 15:43 The dramatic surge was attributed to the world’s second-largest asset manager, Vanguard Group, reversing its long-standing ban on trading crypto Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). The cryptocurrency market experienced a massive, unanticipated rally on December 3rd, with Bitcoin (BTC) smashing through the $93,000 level and the total crypto market capitalization adding over $200 billion in value within 36 hours.

This reversal effectively opened the gates for millions of conservative retail and institutional investors to gain exposure to digital assets through one of the most trusted names in passive investing. The “Vanguard Effect” was immediately amplified by other major financial institutions: Bank of America’s Merrill Lynch followed suit by allowing over 15,000 of its financial advisors to recommend a small (1% to 4%) allocation to crypto ETFs for suitable wealth management clients. BlackRock’s IBIT ETF recorded one of its highest trading volumes to date, crossing the $1 billion mark in a single day.
