🏦 MORGAN STANLEY TOKENIZED U.S. STOCKS AND GOVERNMENT BONDS

The bank said it had become one of the first participants in a new DTCC service, effectively tokenizing U.S. stocks and Treasury securities. This is already a use of the infrastructure launched on October 28, not just a plan.

The tokens are backed by securities held in custody at DTC and preserve owners’ rights. The service is intended for eligible market participants; this does not mean that any investors can now freely trade these assets around the clock.
