Morgan Stanley Eases Barriers To Bitcoin And Ether Funds For All Clients - Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS)

Morgan Stanley will allow all clients to invest in bitcoin and ether funds, including retirement accounts, reflecting growing demand and $77 billion inflows into crypto ETFs, The Block said.

  • Starting Oct. 15, Morgan Stanley will allow financial advisors to offer crypto funds to any client, including retirement accounts, removing prior $1.5 million net worth and aggressive risk limits.
  • After federal guidance shifted, the firm moved to broaden crypto access, driven by President Donald Trump's executive order easing 401 rules and rising client demand alongside E-Trade trading plans.
  • To temper volatility risks, Morgan Stanley will deploy an automated monitoring system to prevent client overconcentration while advisors initially recommend Bitcoin and Ether funds from BlackRock and Fidelity.
  • The decision expands Morgan Stanley's $8.2 trillion wealth and investment management business by allowing all clients, including those with retirement accounts, to invest in crypto funds starting Oct. 15.
  • Market flows show spot bitcoin and ether ETFs have drawn more than $77 billion since 2024, while JPMorgan, Charles Schwab and Vanguard explore similar crypto offerings.
