Traditional finance is also embracing crypto through regulated investment products and stablecoin rails:

Morgan Stanley has filed to launch Bitcoin and Solana ETFs, potentially opening crypto exposure to more than 19 million wealth clients.

Barclays invested in Ubyx, a platform connecting stablecoin issuers with banks for settlement and interoperability.

Bank of America cleared advisers to recommend spot Bitcoin ETFs from firms like BlackRock and Grayscale, supporting modest portfolio allocations to digital assets.

Together, these moves show crypto’s transition from an external risk to an embedded financial tool — regulated, distributed, and increasingly normalized inside the banking system.
