Citi and Morgan Stanley expand their bitcoin and crypto asset business布局

Citi plans to launch institutional-grade bitcoin custody services this year, integrating bitcoin into the same custody, reporting, and tax frameworks as traditional assets. This will allow clients to manage bitcoin, securities, and cash within a single account, and enable cross-margining between digital and traditional assets. Morgan Stanley is advancing crypto trading, lending exploration, and tokenization product services, targeting mainstream wealth clients. Major financial institutions, including Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan, are expanding their digital asset businesses and adjusting their infrastructure to accommodate the 24/7 blockchain market.
