摩根士丹利深化加密布局，推出数字资产实验室

据 CoinGape 报道，摩根士丹利已设立“数字资产实验室”，旨在测试稳定币、代币化以及去中心化金融（DeFi）应用。这家华尔街巨头正通过此举进一步深入加密货币行业，探索基于区块链的应用场景如何扩展至其核心业务。

设立创新实验室以探索前沿技术

摩根士丹利于9月29日宣布成立数字资产实验室，这是该行现有创新实验室网络的一部分。该实验室允许员工在不对银行核心系统构成风险的前提下，探索新兴技术。

负责市场创新与实验室业务的 Megan Brewer 在接受采访时表示，公司计划探索代币化存款、央行数字货币（CBDC）、货币市场基金以及 DeFi 金库等方向。其中，DeFi 金库有望实现全天候自动化的投资策略。

全面拓展加密业务版图

作为推动传统金融向链上迁移的关键力量，摩根士丹利正在加大其在加密领域的投入。此前，该行已在其 E*TRADE 平台上允许客户交易比特币、以太坊和 Solana。

In April this year, Morgan Stanley launched a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust (MSBT), becoming the first bank to issue such a product. Subsequently, the company was approved by the Ethereum and Solana ETF, set a management fee rate as low as 0.14%, and designed a mechanism to pass on pledge proceeds to investors.

In addition, Morgan Stanley Investment Management also launched the stablecoin reserve portfolio (MSNXX) money market fund. As Wall Street's demand for cryptocurrencies grows, Morgan Stanley is also actively exploring the areas of tokenization and DeFi. It is worth noting that as more capital flows to the chain, opportunities in the cryptocurrency industry will further expand.

It is worth mentioning that Morgan Stanley disclosed its XRP position through an ETF and increased its investment in Ripple-backed Evernorth Holdings 'SPAC partner Armada Acquisition Corp II. This shows that the bank has a positive attitude towards XRP and may further explore XRP ETF and related trading business in the future.
