Morgan Stanley, Other TradFi Load Up SOL as Solana RWA Tokenized Value Hits $1.66B ATH

TradFi institutions such as financial giant Morgan Stanley are ramping up their exposure to Solana (SOL), signaling rising confidence in the blockchain’s potential. This move comes as the real-world asset (RWA) tokenized value on the Solana network reached an ATH of $1.66 billion.

Morgan Stanley Reveals Holdings in SOL ETF and Solana Co

Major TradFi player Morgan Stanley deepens its exposure in the Solana ecosystem. The firm holds 932,922 shares worth $15.30 million in Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL), according to a Form 13F filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Morgan Stanley also revealed holdings in NASDAQ-listed digital asset treasury Solana Co. It purchased 86,105 HSDT shares as of December last year. On Friday, HSDT stock closed 14.51% lower at $2.21 and jumped another 5.88% in after market trading.

As CoinGape revealed earlier, Morgan Stanley filed for Solana ETF with the US SEC and crypto wallet. The firm will also offer staking similar to current spot Solana ETFs. This move came following the announcement of plans to offer BTC, ETH, and SOL on its E*Trade platform in 2026.

Morgan Stanley’s entry underscores a shift among large institutions toward regulated crypto products and tokenized assets on high-throughput chains like Solana.

Beyond Morgan Stanley, other TradFi institutions are also increasing their SOL exposure amid rising tokenization. Recently, Goldman Sachs disclosed SOL holdings of almost $108 million via ETFs.

Solana’s RWA Tokenized Value Hits New ATH

Solana has witnessed massive growth in the RWA tokenization sector as TradFi moves to tokenized stocks, treasuries, and other traditional financial products. Solana’s low transaction costs and high scalability make it an attractive choice for institutional investors.

Solana’s RWA ecosystem has just hit a new ATH of $1.66 billion in tokenized value, according to RWAxyz data. This happens as BlackRock’s BUIDL fund recorded massive buying from $175 million to over $552 million in a week after Uniswap integration. The milestone underscores Solana’s expanding footprint in decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional asset tokenization.

Meanwhile, SOL price witnessed volatility to fall back under $90 today. Currently, Solana is trading more than 4% lower at $85.35 over the past 24 hours. The 24-hour low and high are $84.58 and $90.36, respectively.
