Morgan Stanley plans to introduce support for tokenized securities in the second half of 2026, according to Amy Oldenburg, the bank's head of crypto. Speaking at Blockworks’ Digital Asset Summit, Oldenburg revealed that Morgan Stanley's Trajectory Cross, a dark pool currently supporting traditional equities, ETFs, and ADRs, will be adapted to accommodate tokenized securities. This move aligns with the broader trend among traditional financial institutions, including the NYSE and Nasdaq, which are developing systems for tokenized securities. Morgan Stanley, which manages $8.2 trillion in client assets, has been a significant player in the crypto space, previously allowing advisors to pitch spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs to wealth management clients. The bank's expansion into tokenized securities reflects the growing market interest, with the tokenization sector reaching $1 billion in total value and experiencing a 45% growth in monthly transfer volume. This strategic shift is part of a larger trend towards improving operational efficiency and expanding global market access through tokenization.
