Morgan Stanley has filed for a national trust bank charter with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to provide cryptocurrency custody services to institutional clients. The application, submitted on February 18, aims to position the Wall Street giant as a direct competitor to crypto-native custodians. This move reflects a broader trend of traditional banks expanding into digital assets amid a more favorable regulatory environment.
Crypto infrastructure provider Zerohash filed an application on March 4, 2026, for a national trust bank charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), mirroring Morgan Stanley's February filing for its Morgan Stanley Digital Trust subsidiary. The move bolsters partnerships for institutional crypto services amid a surge in similar applications from crypto firms.
