Morgan Stanley’s E*Trade will launch cryptocurrency trading in 2026 through a partnership with digital asset infrastructure provider Zerohash, underscoring Wall Street’s deepening push into digital assets amid a wave of supportive legislation from the Trump administration. E*Trade clients will be able to buy Bitcoin, Ether and Solana in the first half of 2026. the brokerage planned to add crypto trading next year. At the time, the initiative was still in early stages as E*Trade sought partnerships with infrastructure providers. E*Trade was acquired by Morgan Stanley in 2020 for $13 billion. At the time of the deal, the discount brokerage had more than 5.2 million users and offered a retail-focused platform for trading regulated financial securities, focused mainly on US residents. Zerohash will build a full wallet solution for E*Trade clients. Perhaps E*Trade’s biggest rival in the discount brokerage crypto space is Robinhood, which has rapidly expanded its footprint by offering crypto trading and, more recently, acquiring exchange Bitstamp in a $200 million deal.
