Just days into Donald Trumpās second term, Wall Street is showing newfound optimism about crypto, driven by the presidentās pro-crypto agenda. Trump, who was a vocal skeptic during his first term, reversed his stance during the 2024 campaign, relying heavily on support from the crypto industry to defeat Kamala Harris.
On Thursday, Trump issued an executive order aimed at āprotecting and promotingā digital assets, signaling a significant shift in regulatory tone. This change has encouraged banks to reconsider their approach to crypto, with Morgan Stanley CEO Ted Pick stating the firm would work with regulators to explore deeper involvement in the market. Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan echoed similar sentiments, suggesting that clear regulatory guidelines could unlock broader adoption, particularly as a payment option.

The SECās recent repeal of a rule requiring banks to classify crypto as liabilities has further fueled optimism. This move could reduce financial and regulatory barriers, making it easier for banks to offer crypto custody services. Morgan Stanley and other institutions, which have already facilitated crypto trades for wealthy clients, may now expand their offerings.
Bitcoin, which hit a record high of $110,000 this week, reflects the marketās renewed enthusiasm. As crypto gains legitimacy within traditional finance, industry leaders like Pick suggest that its growing presence could make it ājust another form of paymentā within the broader financial system.
