Morgan Stanley considers allowing brokers to recommend Bitcoin ETFs
Morgan Stanley, with assets of over $1.4 trillion, is considering allowing its 15,000 brokers to directly recommend Bitcoin ETFs to clients. This policy change follows the launch and high demand of Bitcoin spot ETFs in the US earlier this year. Previously, Morgan Stanley clients could only buy these ETFs without broker recommendations. Now the bank aims to allow its brokers to proactively suggest Bitcoin ETFs, although it plans to approach this expansion cautiously.
Strong demand for regulated Bitcoin investments
The availability of Bitcoin spot ETFs has provided both institutional and retail investors with a regulated way to invest in Bitcoin, showing strong demand and supporting the wider adoption of Bitcoin in mainstream financial sectors. Morgan Stanley's move could attract more capital to Bitcoin ETFs, increase the legitimacy and profile of Bitcoin as an investment asset, and potentially influence other traditional financial players to adopt similar practices.
