Morgan Stanley has submitted an application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch ETFs tracking Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, marking a significant shift as Wall Street prepares for a substantial increase in cryptocurrency investments in 2026. Industry analyst Eleanor Terret pointed out that from large banks to pension funds, institutions are moving from cautious testing phases to full deployment driven by regulatory clarity brought about by legislation such as the Clarity Act. However, the upcoming U.S. midterm elections may impact the adoption rate of cryptocurrencies and, consequently, future cryptocurrency legislation. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $90,627, and analysts’ price forecasts for Bitcoin in 2026 range from $75,000 to $250,000.
