Morgan Stanley begins crypto trading on E*Trade platform

Morgan Stanley has started offering clients the ability to trade cryptocurrencies directly inside E*Trade brokerage accounts, executing a partnership announced last September.

Morgan Stanley launched crypto trading on E*Trade this week, allowing clients to buy and sell digital assets directly within their brokerage accounts. The rollout follows a partnership with infrastructure provider Zerohash announced in September 2025, with broader availability targeted for the first half of 2026. Separately, Charles Schwab is advancing a similar capability for its clients, using custody at Charles Schwab Premier Bank and execution via Paxos, initially limited to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
