TREE NEWS update: Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley each flagged tokenization as a growth opportunity on their third-quarter earnings calls, without providing revenue expectations for the business. Goldman is studying expanded use of DTCC’s tokenization services, while Wells Fargo already uses tokenized deposits for cross-border payments that reach recipients within two minutes and is exploring tokenized securities, RWA and crypto trading for wealth-management clients. Morgan Stanley said tokenization can speed and simplify asset transfers but clients still need investment advice.
Goldman, Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley See Tokenization as Growth Opportunity
The notable signal is that tokenization has moved from pilot talk to a line item on major bank earnings calls, even without revenue guidance attached. Wells Fargo's live cross-border deposit use and its exploration of tokenized securities and RWA for wealth clients show the build-out is happening at the infrastructure and distribution layers, not just in research. Morgan Stanley's caveat that clients still need advice hints at where the friction sits: product plumbing is advancing faster than client-facing models. Whether tokenization revenue expectations surface in future quarters is the open question.
