Gate News Report, March 25 — Amy Oldenburg, Head of Digital Asset Strategy at Morgan Stanley, stated at the New York Digital Asset Summit that the entry of major Wall Street banks into the cryptocurrency space is not driven by fears of missing out, but rather the result of years of efforts to modernize financial infrastructure. Oldenburg pointed out that Morgan Stanley’s digital asset strategy covers multiple levels, including trading, asset management, and infrastructure. The bank plans to launch tokenized stock trading support on its Alternative Trading System (ATS) in the second half of 2026. Currently, the platform handles stocks, ETFs, and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). Internally, the bank is upgrading its core systems with decades of history to enable faster settlement and continuous trading. Oldenburg emphasized that the complexity of financial institutions’ systems far exceeds that of startups, and that individual institutions cannot complete modernization alone; instead, they need to rely on the coordination of the entire global financial network.
