At Bitcoin Conference, Amy Oldenburg said clients should hold 2%–4% Bitcoin exposure and that U.S. bank balance-sheet adoption is possible after regulatory progress, though industry constraints may slow the process.
Amy Oldenburg, Morgan Stanley’s head of digital asset strategy, said at Bitcoin Conference that clients should maintain 2% to 4% exposure to Bitcoin. She also said Bitcoin on U.S. bank balance sheets is “not totally out of the question,” citing 16 months of regulatory progress, while cautioning that adoption by banks may take longer than markets expect. Her remarks build on Morgan Stanley’s launch of what was described in the source as the first bank-issued Bitcoin ETP and reflect a somewhat more constructive stance toward institutional adoption, even as constraints tied to financial advisors, regulators and bank balance sheets remain.
