Digital asset trading platform surges 5% following MSCI's decision to refrain from restricting DATs in the immediate term

Markets respond positively to the index giant's measured stance—the platform's shares climbed as word spread that MSCI won't be pulling the trigger on exclusions just yet. It's a breathing room moment for the sector, at least for now. The statement signals that major custodians and institutional players won't face immediate headwinds when it comes to compliance classifications.

The move reflects broader market sentiment: when gatekeeping bodies hold back, risk assets tend to catch a bid. Whether this reprieve translates into sustained momentum depends on what comes next from regulators and whether the industry can lock in this window of opportunity.
