Major financial institution Morgan Stanley has submitted an application to the SEC to launch spot Bitcoin and Solana ETF products. Insiders reveal that the deeper intention behind this move is worth pondering — institutions are not primarily focused on immediate capital inflows, but rather on improving their brand image, increasing attractiveness to clients, and gaining a competitive edge in talent acquisition through such initiatives.


More importantly, they aim to open new profit growth points through the crypto trading features and tokenization solutions on the E-Trade platform. This is a long-term strategic approach — in the context of the mainstream adoption of crypto assets, they are positioning early to lay the foundation for future business synergy. From Bitcoin to Solana, institutional participation is gradually deepening, and the market ecosystem is accelerating its evolution.

Morgan Stanley's move is really brilliant; on the surface, it's an ETF product, but in reality, it's paving the way for their own crypto ecosystem.

Damn, Morgan Stanley has really woken up. Now traditional finance has to start playing with crypto too.

JPMorgan's move is basically about positioning; ETFs are just a cover. The real gold mine is in the E-Trade setup, and institutional players all do the same.

Wake up, everyone. This is the final desperate struggle of traditional finance to show off.

Morgan Stanley's recent moves are interesting. On the surface, it's an ETF, but in reality, they just want to get a piece of the crypto cake... Old institutions play this game: first snatch talent, shape their image, and then the real profits come in. The fact that Solana can be listed alongside Bitcoin shows that institutions are indeed optimistic about this chain. The premium on talent and branding has definitely been hit, as major internet companies have been playing this way for a long time. The long-term strategic positioning makes sense; it all depends on whether E-Trade's trading volume can keep up. Isn't this how major institutions do bottom-fishing? First burn money to seize territory, then move on. Tokenization + trading functions combined—that's real chess.

Morgan Stanley is raising funds again. Their true purpose isn't about brand image at all; they're just afraid of being left behind.

Morgan Stanley is going all in, really? Why do I feel like traditional finance is starting to panic?
