TechFlow News, February 27: According to a Decrypt report, Amy Oldenburg, Head of Digital Asset Strategy at Wall Street giant Morgan Stanley, stated that the bank “absolutely” plans to offer Bitcoin custody and trading services to its clients and is developing the related technology in-house.
Oldenburg confirmed at Strategy’s “Corporate Bitcoin” conference that yield and lending services are also natural components of its cryptocurrency roadmap. She emphasized that Morgan Stanley must build these capabilities internally—not merely lease technology—to ensure reliable service delivery to its clients.
As a financial institution managing nearly $9 trillion in assets, Morgan Stanley has previously taken several cryptocurrency-related initiatives. In September last year, the firm confirmed it would offer Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana trading services via the E*Trade app. In January this year, Morgan Stanley filed an S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an Ethereum ETF.
