Morgan Stanley's Bold Move: Crypto Trading Goes Mainstream

Morgan Stanley's Bold Move: Crypto Trading Goes Mainstream

January 13, 2026
🚨 Morgan Stanley just made crypto… mainstream. Two years ago they called digital assets a “paradigm shift.” Now they’re acting on it. Morgan Stanley is preparing to: ✔️ Launch Bitcoin, Ethereum & Solana trading on E-Trade ✔️ Roll out a proprietary digital wallet in 2026 ✔️ File for its own BTC, ETH & SOL ETFs ✔️ Expand crypto access across all client accounts — even retirement plans As Jed Finn, Head of Wealth Management at Morgan Stanley, put it: “This is really a recognition that the way financial service infrastructure works is going to change.” And he’s right. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have already surpassed $1.6 trillion in trading volume and now hold around $130B in assets under management — with BlackRock’s IBIT becoming the fastest-growing ETF in history. This isn’t institutions warming up to crypto anymore. They’re charging in at full speed. The line between TradFi and DeFi is officially blurring — and the firms building infrastructure today will define how wealth is managed tomorrow. 💬 What do you think: Is this the beginning of a new financial system, or just Wall Street protecting its turf? 🎓 Ready to stay relevant in a world where banks are building on blockchain?
