Sign InMorgan Stanley has officially named its proposed spot Bitcoin investment vehicle the 'Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust' in an updated regulatory filing. The latest amendment clarifies that BNY Mellon will now serve as a Bitcoin custodian alongside Coinbase, significantly expanding its previous role as administrator and cash custodian.

To ensure maximum protection, the trust will utilize offline cold storage technology to secure the vast majority of its Bitcoin assets.

By integrating BNY Mellon and Coinbase in these critical roles, the bank aims to provide a high level of transparency and safety for institutional investors.
