Gate News message, April 16 — Morgan Stanley has identified real-world asset (RWA) tokenization as the “next major step” in its global business operations, integrating it into its strategic focus on upgrading traditional financial infrastructure through blockchain technology, according to FinanceFeeds.
The institution plans to integrate traditional and digital assets within a regulated environment, enabling near-real-time on-chain settlement. Morgan Stanley will launch an institutional-grade digital wallet in the second half of 2026, supporting tokenized traditional investment products as well as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.
