Ted Peake, Morgan Stanley's chief executive, said on Thursday that the bank would work with US regulators to see whether it could engage deeply in the cryptocurrency market. "The key for us is whether we, as a highly regulated Financial Institutions Group, can act as traders," Mr. Peake told CNBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. "We will work with the Treasury and other regulators to see how we can provide this service in a safe way."
Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon noted at a recent Reuters conference that many regulated U.S. banks still do not have access to cryptocurrencies. "Everyone is guessing how the regulatory framework will evolve, but it's still unclear how the regulatory framework will evolve," Solomon added. Speculation is still ongoing about how long it will take for the first crypto bill to pass the House and Senate, as well as in front of Trump.
