According to FinanceFeeds, Morgan Stanley stated that real-world asset tokenization has become the “next major step” for its global business and is now a strategic priority in its initiative to upgrade traditional financial infrastructure using blockchain. The firm plans to integrate traditional and digital assets within regulated environments, advance near real-time on-chain settlement, and launch an institutional digital wallet in the second half of 2026—supporting tokenized traditional investment products as well as crypto assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley is also advancing the development of a tokenized private equity secondary market and building both on-chain and off-chain settlement processes.

Odaily News: Sharon Yeshaya, Chief Financial Officer of Morgan Stanley, stated that tokenization and on-chain finance will become key evolutionary directions for its wealth management business.The company envisions a "tokenized world," where client assets and liabilities can flow as efficiently as capital through blockchain infrastructure, thereby reshaping asset allocation, lending, and cash management methods.Unlike viewing crypto as an independent business, Morgan Stanley plans to embed on-chain capabilities into its core service system, including investment advisory, financing, and liquidity management, to drive an upgrade of the overall financial architecture.This strategy is being gradually implemented through initiatives such as the digital asset pilot with ZeroHash and products like Bitcoin ETFs. Although the crypto business currently accounts for a small portion of the overall system, its position within the future wealth management framework is rapidly rising.

According to Cointelegraph, JP Richardson, CEO of Exodus, stated that financial institutions have accelerated their participation in the cryptocurrency market this year—including stablecoin market capitalization reaching an all-time high, Morgan Stanley launching a Bitcoin ETF, Schwab opening a waitlist for spot Bitcoin trading, Franklin Templeton establishing a cryptocurrency division, and Fannie Mae accepting Bitcoin as collateral for loans. Unlike previous cycles, institutional investors have stood out during this bull run, while retail participation has declined sharply. Data from CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost shows that inflows into small accounts holding less than 1 BTC on Binance have hit a record low, with retail activity dropping to its lowest level in nine years. Some retail investors have shifted toward equities and commodities markets. Analysts attribute the absence of retail investors primarily to the cost-of-living crisis and inflationary pressures.
