Morgan Stanley Signals Big Plans for Cryptocurrency Expansion
23.01.2025 17:20 1 min. read Alexander Stefanov
Morgan Stanley CEO Ted Pick has signaled the bank’s interest in expanding its involvement in cryptocurrencies, provided regulatory conditions allow.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Pick stressed the importance of balancing innovation with compliance, noting that Morgan Stanley is working with U.S. regulators to explore safe ways to engage in the crypto market.
Morgan Stanley has been a leader among traditional banks in crypto adoption, becoming the first to offer Bitcoin investment funds to wealthy clients in 2021 and later introducing Bitcoin ETFs. However, regulatory restrictions still prevent banks from directly holding cryptocurrencies, a limitation echoed by Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, who highlighted the need for clearer guidelines.
Pick also commented on Bitcoin’s resilience, suggesting its longevity and growing acceptance could mark a turning point for the crypto industry. Meanwhile, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan expressed readiness to embrace digital assets, citing the bank’s extensive blockchain patents as evidence of its preparedness.
As regulatory clarity improves, institutions like Morgan Stanley are positioning themselves to integrate digital assets into traditional finance, signaling a potential shift in the banking industry’s approach to cryptocurrency.
