Morgan Stanley includes cryptocurrencies in investment portfolios
In its new Global Investment Committee report, Morgan Stanley cites cryptocurrencies as sources of opportunity for its investment portfolio. The firm is moving toward the digital currency market
Morgan Stanley is definitively opening up to the cryptocurrency sector, encouraging its clients to consider them as a broader investment option.
“In a new report from its Global Investment Committee, the banknotes that cryptocurrencies can have a place in modern portfolios, provided this is done in a controlled and limited manner. Advisors can guide clients on opportunities, but also on market volatility.”
Depending on each investor’s risk profile, the firm “recommends holding between 2 and 4 percent in digital assets. For conservative investors, the recommendation remains at zero.”
The principle applies to more than 16,000 financial advisors, who collectively manage more than $2 trillion in client wealth. In this regard, the report notes that “digital assets like Bitcoin can provide long-term value, but only within a balanced portfolio with periodic rebalancing.”
Morgan Stanley compares Bitcoin, the market’s leading cryptocurrency, to digital gold; it considers it a scarce digital asset that cannot be simply printed, used by investors as a hedge against inflation and currency risks.
The bank is likely to announce the launch of cryptocurrency trading through E*Trade in 2026, in collaboration with the infrastructure company Zerohash. “Clients will be able to buy and sell Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana. The plan is part of a broader trend in which large banks offer crypto products through trusted platforms.”
