Morgan Stanley's recent filing (Jan 6, 2026) for spot Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum ETFs—holding actual crypto assets without derivatives—signals strong institutional embrace of digital assets. This move, the first by a major U.S. bank, boosts legitimacy and eases access for wealth clients via regulated products.
Analysts expect it to stimulate crypto derivatives trading volume, as increased mainstream adoption and liquidity from spot ETFs often drive higher futures/options activity on exchanges. Combined with Morgan Stanley's planned 2026 E*Trade crypto trading rollout, this fuels overall market momentum and trading surge.
