Morgan Stanley Has Filed For A De Novo National Trust Bank Charter
Escalating US–Iran tensions triggered a brief risk-off move in crypto, with BTC dipping from about $65K to about $63K and ETH down to around $1.8K before both recovered into Monday. Options markets show only mild front-end inversion and puts remain bid, signalling ongoing demand for downside protection despite the bounce. TradFi is now repricing the shock, with global equities down roughly 1%, Brent up more than 10% above $80 on Strait of Hormuz risk, and precious metals higher, while Treasuries sold off and the 10-year yield rose about 3bps to roughly 3.97%. Morgan Stanley’s trust bank charter filing adds to the institutional build-out narrative, alongside scrutiny of prediction markets, Vitalik’s proposed execution-layer upgrades, and Paradigm’s planned $1.5B frontier tech fund.
