Morgan Stanley to roll out crypto trading on E-Trade and launch proprietary wallet in 2026

In 2026, Morgan Stanley plans to introduce bitcoin, ether, and solana trading on its E-Trade platform and launch a proprietary digital wallet, according to its head of wealth management. The firm has also filed for BTC, ETH, and SOL-based ETFs and progressively opened spot bitcoin ETF access from select high-net-worth clients to all client accounts, including retirement plans. These moves build on prior infrastructure investments and reflect a broader shift among major Wall Street banks toward digital assets.
