Morgan Stanley’s E-Trade ponders crypto services
A Morgan Stanley subsidiary is considering adding cryptocurrency services to its existing TradFi product suite.
Morgan Stanley’s E-Trade is reportedly exploring the possibility of offering cryptocurrency and digital asset trading to its customers, according to The Information on Thursday, Jan. 2. E-Trade currently provides bonds, stocks, index funds, and other traditional financial investment products. Morgan Stanley acquired the brokerage in 2020.
Expectations for crypto-friendly regulations under the President Donald Trump administration are likely a precursor to E-Trade’s potential decision, the report noted.
