Morgan Stanley’s Crypto ETF Move Signals Institutional Watershed
Morgan Stanley's surprise SEC filing for Bitcoin, Solana, and ethereum ETFs marks a turning point for institutional adoption. The bank's pivot from caution to active pursuit of crypto exposure suggests 2026 will be the year Wall Street fully commits.
Eleanor Terret of Crypto in America notes institutions are now 'all in'—regulatory clarity from the Clarity Act and post-TRUMP administration policy shifts have removed last barriers. 'When compliance teams stop hesitating, capital flows follow,' Terret observed during her ABC News appearance.
The real catalyst lies in Congress. Codified rules under the Clarity Act finally provide the framework large asset managers require. Pension funds, endowments, and trading desks now have the legal certainty to deploy billions.
