Morgan Stanley is stepping up its crypto ambitions, unveiling plans for a digital wallet and expanded cryptocurrency trading as Wall Street’s biggest banks race deeper into tokenization and blockchain finance.

According to Barron’s, the investment bank said Thursday it intends to launch a digital wallet in the second half of 2026 that will support tokenized assets—including traditional securities and private equity—broadening its digital-asset strategy.

Morgan Stanley also plans to roll out trading in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana on its E*TRADE platform in the first half of 2026, signaling a tighter integration of cryptocurrencies into both retail and institutional services.

The moves cap a busy week of crypto-related filings for the firm. Morgan Stanley submitted an application to the Securities and Exchange Commission for an Ethereum Trust—its third crypto ETF-style filing in 48 hours after registering Bitcoin and Solana trusts earlier in the week.

The proposed Ethereum Trust would passively hold Ether directly, marking the bank’s first major push into crypto investment vehicles. Together, the initiatives underscore growing institutional acceptance of digital assets and highlight Morgan Stanley’s bid to be a leading player in tokenization and crypto markets.
