Wall Street giants have been making frequent moves lately. Big players like Morgan Stanley are no longer just watching from the sidelines; they are pouring real money into crypto and blockchain.



Let's start with the latest news—Morgan Stanley plans to launch its own digital asset wallet in 2026. This wallet will not only support virtual currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum but also enable the tokenization of real-world assets(, including stocks, bonds, real estate, and more. It is expected to continue expanding in the future.

But there's no need to wait until 2026. As early as September 2025, Morgan Stanley's online brokerage platform E*Trade announced a major move—next year, it will open up cryptocurrency trading. E*Trade users will be able to directly trade mainstream coins like Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum. What does this mean? It indicates that Morgan Stanley is gradually integrating crypto services into its retail investment system.

Simultaneously, there are also developments in ETF offerings. Morgan Stanley has submitted multiple applications to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for crypto-related ETF products, including spot and staking-based products. These actions demonstrate that traditional financial institutions' attitude towards digital assets has completely changed—from tentative exploration to strategic deployment, from fringe to core.

Morgan Stanley is serious now, no longer pretending to be dismissive, directly throwing money into cryptocurrencies as a livelihood. For us retail investors, watching the big players enter the market is like watching others eat meat—drooling but with no resources in our pockets. Wall Street has gotten serious, while small investors are still sleepwalking. Wait, does this mean that when we all-in before, they were secretly planning? Laughing to death, their tactics are still so deep. Traditional finance has finally lowered its head and become obedient. This reversal is indeed a bit absolute. The entire market structure is about to be reshuffled. Those who get in early are probably going to make a fortune, while we "lucky ones" are still adding to the losses. Is the big capital entering the market a sign that this wave is really happening? I choose to believe it, so that my losses will have some meaning.

It has proven that the protocol architecture of RWA is the key, and the wallet is just the entry point.

Wow, Morgan Stanley is really starting to play for real. This means traditional finance has completely surrendered. --- E*Trade will be able to trade SOL next year? Then I’ll have to HODL these coins for another two years. --- RWA wallets sound impressive, but I still don’t trust them. I prefer managing my own money comfortably. --- Wall Street’s old foxes will only enter after we finish educating the market. They really know how to do the math. --- 2026? The flowers are already withered. Those who get in now are truly smart. --- The key is whether the ETF gets approved. If it really passes, I feel the coin price will take off. --- No, why are these people so slow? I can’t wait anymore. --- Spot and staking ETFs coming simultaneously—that’s to attract all retail investors. --- Honestly, they’re just after our money. Institutional money-grabbing is just a new trick. --- Morgan Stanley also has to get involved, which means there’s really no way out.

Morgan Stanley is really losing patience now, RWA wallet launching in 2026? We've should have played like this a long time ago, brothers. E*Trade will open trading directly next year, now retail users can also get on board. Wall Street is finally not pretending anymore. These moves are more aggressive than the last, ETF applications + wallets + trading platforms. Are they trying to absorb all self-custody players? Haha. Honestly, I can't quite understand this rhythm. 2026 is still so far away, feels like they're just making empty promises again. Wall Street's money is all about pouring into the chain now. The big picture is opening up, everyone. Morgan Stanley's move is really clever. From ETFs to RWA, step by step, making you rely on their ecosystem. Is E*Trade reliable? Will it be like Coinbase with all kinds of tricks? Wait, does this mean Bitcoin is really entering the mainstream, or are they just trying to cut the leeks again? The wallet supporting RWA is interesting, but whether it can be truly used depends on execution. After all, it's still their big chess game. Once retail gets caught in, it's game over.

Morgan Stanley is really stepping in this time, no longer pretending to be an outsider. Will E*Trade be able to trade mainstream coins next year? Retail users are in luck now; traditional finance is finally taking our circle seriously.

Morgan Stanley really wants a piece of this, it seems Wall Street can’t sit still either Once traditional financial giants enter the scene, the ecosystem changes. This move is serious Will E*Trade be able to trade SOL next year? Oh my, retail investors have a new way to get cut If RWA truly materializes, on-chain asset pools will take off, but the prerequisite is that regulators don’t mess around Wait, will their 2026 wallets directly lock all small tokens? Only allow mainstream cryptocurrencies? This time, the crypto world has also taken a half step into Wall Street. But on the other hand, we should be cautious—when giants enter, it often means the start of harvesting
