Major development in crypto adoption: Morgan Stanley, managing roughly $1.8 trillion in assets, has filed for a spot Ethereum ETF. This marks another significant step toward mainstream institutional acceptance of digital assets. The move reflects growing institutional interest in Ethereum, following similar developments with Bitcoin ETF approvals. Such filings demonstrate how traditional finance continues to bridge into the crypto ecosystem.

JPMorgan enters the scene, traditional finance is really embracing Ethereum Wait, this time it's Morgan Stanley, I was mistaken, but it's still impressive Institutions are rushing in, retail investors are still debating whether to buy the dip? LOL ETFs are coming one after another, is Ethereum still far from breaking 10,000? Old financial giants have all compromised, what does that mean? Is the crypto spring here?

Morgan Stanley is planning to launch an Ethereum spot ETF, and traditional finance can no longer sit still.

Morgan Stanley's move, to put it simply, is still sensing a change in the wind. An entry of 1.8 trillion is no joke— but you need to see clearly that this is an ETF product, and the authority control and custodial mechanisms must undergo audits. Otherwise, just like those previous self-custody vulnerabilities, risk transfer, not elimination.

Ironically, Morgan Stanley's $1.8 trillion size to try to ride on Ethereum's coattails shows that this wave is really here... or is it just a new trick to harvest the leeks?

Morgan Stanley's move is really aggressive—entering Ethereum with a $1.8 trillion scale. Is traditional finance completely giving up?
