Morgan Stanley: Bitcoin Will Ultimately Make Its Way Onto U.S. Bank Balance Sheets, Just Not Yet the Time
Golden Finance reports that on May 4th, Morgan Stanley’s MSBT product attracted over $100 million in funds through self-service channels six days before its launch, even before being opened to financial advisors.
Although the company officially recommends allocating 2%–4% of assets to Bitcoin, the adoption rate among financial advisors remains slow, indicating a clear gap in awareness and education. Morgan Stanley is currently working internally to address this issue.
Oldenburg did not rule out the possibility of Morgan Stanley including Bitcoin on its balance sheet in the future, but she warned that regulatory guidance from the Federal Reserve, Basel rules, and the global regulatory framework mean this process will take longer than many expect.
