Morgan Stanley Expands Services to Include Bitcoin Options

Morgan Stanley, one of the largest financial institutions in the United States, has announced plans to offer its clients Bitcoin custody, trading, lending, and yield-generation services.

The move marks a significant step towards mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies, as major financial institutions increasingly recognize their value. The bank's decision follows a trend of expanding crypto service offerings by top banks, including Fidelity Investments and Bank of America.

Morgan Stanley's entry into the market would give clients direct access to Bitcoin through a regulated institution, attracting high-net-worth individuals and institutional players. Adding yield and lending products expands BTC's utility beyond simple custody, making it an attractive option for investors seeking returns on digital asset holdings.
