Major institutional players are accelerating their cryptocurrency market entry. Vanguard has now granted over 50 million clients direct access to spot crypto ETFs covering Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and Solana—marking a significant shift in mainstream investment accessibility. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley, managing $1.8 trillion in assets, is preparing to launch its own cryptocurrency wallet platform this year, signaling serious institutional commitment. Adding to this momentum, JPMorgan is advancing its native JPM Coin deployment on the Canton Network, extending this deposit token beyond private channels toward broader public availability. These concurrent moves from Wall Street heavyweights reflect growing institutional confidence in digital assets and suggest 2025 could be a turning point for crypto adoption among traditional finance institutions.

Wait, did Vanguard really open up for 50 million people? How many institutions actually bought in...

It was about time, Wall Street bigwigs are finally taking crypto seriously. Institutional entry should have happened a long time ago; the moves by Morgan Stanley and JPM are indeed impressive. Vanguard has 50 million clients—how much money will they pour in... Traditional finance has finally remembered the existence of crypto. Is 2025 really a turning point, or is it just another prelude to a wave of rug pulls? Old Morgan still has to rely on JPM coin to prove itself... Interesting. Are these Wall Street folks really going all in, or just pretending? Let's wait and see.

ngl, vanguard pushing 50m users to spot etfs is cute but like... technically speaking, if you analyze the transaction data, these are still wrapping layer solutions. where's the actual on-chain optimization? smh, mainstream adoption doesn't mean they understand base layer mechanics

Wow, is traditional finance really going all in? 50 million users are directly using it? This time, sub7k Bitcoin is really going to be a thing of the past.

Wow, Vanguard is opening to 50 million people directly? Traditional finance is really being forced to enter the market now. Morgan Stanley and JPM are taking action together. Is Wall Street about to go all in collectively? 50 million users... Is 2025 really a turning point? Traditional finance is serious this time. If you don't get on board now, it will be too late. JPM Coin on Canton Network, large-scale settlements are about to change? This pace... It feels like institutions are finally dropping the act.
