Goldman Sachs reports that on March 25, Morgan Stanley’s Head of Digital Asset Strategy, Amy Oldenburg, stated that Wall Street’s push into crypto is not driven by FOMO, but by years of internal work on modernizing financial infrastructure.
She pointed out that Morgan Stanley is expanding its digital asset strategy into trading, asset management, and infrastructure. Previously, the bank’s related activities mainly focused on providing Bitcoin fund exposure for high-net-worth clients and offering spot Bitcoin ETFs on its E*Trade platform, with recent submissions for its own spot Bitcoin ETF.
Amy Oldenburg revealed that Morgan Stanley plans to support tokenized stock trading on its alternative trading system in the second half of 2026, a platform that currently handles stocks, ETFs, and American Depositary Receipts.
She also emphasized that upgrading decades-old core banking systems, improving system connectivity, and coordinating efforts within the global financial network remain major challenges, despite rising interest in tools like stablecoins and ongoing institutional crypto activities.
