Jakarta, Pintu News – Morgan Stanley is expanding its efforts in digital assets by developing a new crypto wallet. The move is part of the bank’s plan to provide regulated and connected investment products for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL).

Morgan Stanley Strengthens Crypto Wallet Strategy

According to a report from Barron’s, Wall Street bank Morgan Stanley – which manages nearly $9 trillion in assets under management (AUM) – is increasingly focusing its strategy on digital assets. The bank plans to release its crypto wallet by 2026.

The wallet is being developed to provide custodial services (secure storage) and eventually transaction capabilities for tokenized assets. The service is aimed at institutional investors and high-net-worth clients.

This wallet will connect traditional wealth management with blockchain technology. Its function is to support tokenized versions of real-world assets in both public and private markets – including traditional securities and private investment structures.

Private Market Supports Morgan Stanley’s Digital Asset Strategy

Morgan Stanley is strengthening its position in the private market through a partnership with Carta. The partnership allows the firm to provide wealth management services to employees of private companies. In addition, Morgan Stanley also acquired EquityZen to provide its clients with access to private company stocks.

In a post on X, analyst Walter mentioned that this move will reduce barriers to private asset transactions and smoothen liquidity before companies go public. This strategy helps with long-term capital planning across multiple asset classes.

Morgan Stanley has also applied to launch ETFs linked to Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana. These filings indicate a race to offer exposure to cryptocurrencies through regulated investment products.

The strategy aims to align digital assets with existing portfolio structures, most likely through the E*Trade platform. The bank has also lifted the cap on the amount of crypto exposure their wealthy clients can have.

In addition, the company also announced that its planned Ethereum trust product will utilize an “in-kind” system for asset creation and redemption. However, there are no further details regarding exchanges, trading symbols, or custodians.

The ETF is expected to be launched for eligible investors upon approval from regulatory authorities. Together with the crypto wallet under development, Morgan Stanley is building an organized crypto framework, focusing on regulatory-compliant access, secure storage, and long-term portfolio management applications.
