Morgan Stanley — the bank that just a few years ago struggled to say the word "Bitcoin" out loud — is filing an S-1 for a Bitcoin Trust and is already registering a Solana Trust. It's time to admit: the game has changed.
I remember a time when institutional investors viewed crypto as a wild thing. Today — the same Morgan Stanley through which millions of families access bonds, ETFs, and pension funds — is officially packaging SOL into a structured financial product.
This is not just "another trust." It's an acknowledgment: — Bitcoin has become an asset class, not just "digital gold" from presentations. — Solana is not a meme, not an "alt for traders," but infrastructure worthy of a major bank’s balance sheet.
And yes, this is happening in early 2026 — when the market has already gone through hype, disappointment, and regulatory cleanups. Only those who build remain. And those who are no longer afraid to invest.
Morgan Stanley is not chasing the trend. It enters when everything is already "safe." Which means — it is truly safer now than it seems.
