Morgan Stanley is rolling out spot trading in Bitcoin, Ethereum (Ether), and Solana for eligible retail customers through its E*TRADE platform. Multiple outlets report that the offering allows customers to buy, sell, and hold these cryptocurrencies. The expansion is supported by a partnership with Zero Hash, described as a crypto infrastructure provider that enables access to spot crypto trading. The reports specify that the service is available to “eligible” customers, indicating that not all E*TRADE users have immediate access. Overall, the change positions E*TRADE’s retail offering to include direct spot exposure to the three cryptocurrencies, using Zero Hash’s infrastructure to facilitate custody and trading functionality. The announcements frame the update as a new trading availability feature rather than a broader product change, with the focus remaining on spot transactions—buying and selling holdings directly—plus the ability to hold the assets within the platform. Both articles characterize the rollout as a partnership-driven launch for qualified clients.
