1M Shares in 4 Days: Amy Oldenburg on Morgan Stanley's Bitcoin ETF

About this episode

Amy Oldenburg discusses Morgan Stanley's Bitcoin ETF launch and the bank's approach to digital assets.

Morgan Stanley's spot Bitcoin ETF traded a million shares by day four — at 14 basis points. Not bad for a firm that spent years on the sidelines of the ETF race. Amy Oldenburg, Head of Digital Asset Strategy at Morgan Stanley, joins David Sencil at Paris Blockchain Week 2026 to walk through how the bank is approaching digital assets — across product, infrastructure, and regulation — and why she says there's more coming behind this launch. We cover: Morgan Stanley's spot BTC ETF launch and the 14bp fee strategy Why emerging-markets investors tend to navigate crypto better than most The three-bucket framework: investments, infrastructure, new products Where Amy lands on quantum and "Q-day" for Bitcoin The GENIUS Act, OCC digital trust charter, and what's still missing from US clarity Why cypherpunks and Wall Street aren't as far apart as they look Host: David Sencil Recorded at Paris Blockchain Week 2026.
