The shifted timeline is part of a wider tokenization roadmap that includes the development of proprietary wallet infrastructure and the launch of a Digital Asset Lab to explore onchain products. Morgan Stanley has also received conditional approval for a digital asset custody and staking trust and identifies growth opportunities in structured notes, funds, and private shares. Oldenburg expects the total value of tokenized real-world assets to eventually reach between $3T and $10T.
