Morgan Stanley digital asset and tokenization strategy
Overview
Morgan Stanley has adjusted its timeline for supporting tokenized stocks on its alternative trading platform, delaying the launch from the second half of 2026 to the first quarter of 2027. Amy Oldenburg, the bank’s head of digital asset strategy, noted that the delay is due to a lack of sufficient financial product variety and a mature market structure, though the bank maintains its strategic direction.
In a subsequent report, the bank warned that the adoption of tokenized assets and digital money could disrupt 25% to 30% of wealth management revenue, particularly impacting net interest income. However, the bank anticipates significant growth in the market for tokenized real-world assets, projecting it could reach between $3 trillion and $10 trillion by 2030. The bank also noted that opportunities for clients to borrow against a wider range of assets may help offset potential revenue losses.
