Morgan Stanley Launches Crypto Trading on E*Trade with Competitive 0.50% Fees.

Financial giant Morgan Stanley, managing over $1.9 trillion in assets, is set to introduce cryptocurrency trading directly on its E*Trade platform, charging a 0.50% fee per transaction — a rate designed to undercut existing competitors in the space.

The move marks one of Wall Street's most significant steps into retail crypto trading, bringing digital asset access to E*Trade's massive existing user base without the need for a separate crypto exchange account.

With a fee structure positioning it below many rivals, Morgan Stanley appears determined to capture a substantial share of the growing retail crypto market.
