Bitcoin (BTC/USD) has hit a new all-time high of $49,344 early on Sunday amid reports of further institutional interest. Bloomberg has reported that Counterpoint Global, an investment arm of Morgan Stanley, is considering investing in the cryptocurrency.
MS is one of the world's most known banks and Counterpoint, which has some $150 billion under management, is highly ranked among mutual funds.
The news about Morgan Stanley completes a winning streak for the granddaddy of digital coins. Elon Musk's Tesla triggered gains early on with its $1.5 billion investment announcement and willingness to consider accepting payments in BTC. Headway made by Mastercard and BNY Mellon also gave Bitcoin another impetus.
