Morpho Unveils Fixed-Rate Protocol Morpho Midnight
Morpho is the second-largest lending protocol in DeFi, with $7.7B in TVL.
Morpho, DeFi’s second-largest lending protocol by value locked, has officially named its long-in-development fixed-rate product: Morpho Midnight.
Co-founder and CEO Paul Frambot announced the name on X today, April 14, emphasizing that Midnight is not a sequel to Morpho Blue. “It is a completely new paradigm for onchain lending, and should not be considered a ‘V2’ of Blue,” Frambot wrote.
The distinction is structural, according to Frambot’s X post. Morpho Blue offers pool-based, open-term variable-rate markets with externalized risk management. Midnight introduces intent-based, fixed-term, fixed-rate markets with externalized management of both risk as well as rate, a different mechanism for pricing and matching lenders and borrowers.
The two protocols will coexist and complement each other within the broader Morpho network, per the X post. Frambot first flagged the naming overhaul of Morpho’s fixed rate market in early March, when he dropped versioning terminology (Markets V1/V2) in favor of distinct brand identities for each product.
Frambot added in today’s announcement that more details on Midnight are expected as security audits finalize.
Morpho currently holds approximately $7.7 billion in total value locked, per data from DefiLlama, making it the second-largest lending protocol in DeFi, following Aave with $26.3 billion in TVL.
Last June, The Defiant reported on Morpho’s V2 launch, which introduced fixed-rate and fixed-term loans, with the aim to bring DeFi lending closer to traditional finance structures, which Midnight now builds on.
Last month, the Ethereum Foundation made its second deployment into Morpho Vaults, bringing its total commitment to nearly $19 million and citing the protocol’s immutable, open-source architecture as a model for cypherpunk-aligned DeFi infrastructure.

Enterprise digital asset infrastructure platform Fireblocks said Wednesday it launched Earn, a feature that lets institutional clients route stablecoin balances into onchain lending strategies through Aave and Morpho-powered products.
The product launches with a Sentora-curated vault on Morpho and direct access to Aave’s stablecoin lending markets, according to Fireblocks. The company said Earn is available now in Early Access for Fireblocks customers.
Fireblocks said the feature is aimed at clients sitting on large idle stablecoin balances between settlement windows and deployment cycles. The company said it processed $6 trillion in stablecoin transfer volume in 2025 across more than 2,400 institutional clients, up 300% from a year earlier.
Fireblocks is the latest platform launching an institutional gateway product for decentralized lending, seeking to make idle stablecoin holdings more productive for institutions. Competing solutions for institutional stablecoin lending include Aave Horizon, Coinbase Prime, Anchorage Digital, Nexo Institutional and Spark Institutional Lending.
Fireblocks did not disclose a target yield. The company said any returns would be generated by the underlying protocols and would be variable, not guaranteed, and could be zero.
Aave is the largest decentralized lending protocol with $25.9 billion in total value locked (TVL), followed by Morpho with $7.67 billion in TVL, according to DeFiLlama data.
Fireblocks targets idle stablecoin balances
Fireblocks said most institutional capital sits idle between deployment cycles and settlement windows, which inspired the new Earn product, according to Michael Shaulov, CEO and co-founder of Fireblocks.
“For the first time, institutions can put those balances to work through onchain lending strategies curated by established institutional names, inside the same platform, under the same controls they already run,” he said.

Fireblocks has been expanding its institutional services beyond just lending.
In October 2025, Fireblocks Trust Company teamed up with Galaxy, Bakkt, and others to launch a crypto custody framework operating under the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) to meet soaring institutional demand, Cointelegraph reported.
On Jan. 7, 2026, Fireblocks acquired crypto accounting platform TRES for $130 million, tapping the company for its tax compliance infrastructure to support institutions.
Magazine: Crypto wanted to overthrow banks, now it’s becoming them in stablecoin fight
Investors who thrive on bitcoin’s wild price swings may be in for disappointment. Major banks are preparing to introduce new products that could dampen volatility in a market that has already become significantly calmer in recent years.
Most recently, Goldman Sachs filed an application for a Bitcoin Premium Income exchange-traded fund (ETF). The proposed fund relies on selling (writing) options tied to bitcoin-linked exchange-traded products to generate income while providing investors with exposure to the cryptocurrency. BlackRock is looking to launch a similar product.
Selling options is essentially writing insurance against price swings. The writers collect a premium in exchange for providing downside or upside protection, while being exposed to potentially significant losses if the market moves sharply. Traders often use covered strategies — holding the underlying asset or ETFs while writing options — to partially offset risk.
If approved, the ETFs may employ similar covered options strategies to generate yield, though the exact structures will vary by product.
Whatever the case, the net impact would be calmer market conditions. That’s because when options are sold in large numbers, dealers or market makers who take the other side of these trades end up with long positions. To manage their risks, these entities then dynamically hedge by buying the underlying asset on declines and selling on rallies. This dynamic is called hedging the positive gamma exposure, and it tends to restrain volatility.
In addition, the availability of yield-generating institutional-grade products may suck capital away from pure speculative bets, further lowering realized volatility over time. Bitcoin’s implied volatility has been declining for three years, primarily due to the growing popularity of options-selling strategies.
Today bitcoin has pulled back to $74,000 after hitting highs near $76,000 on Tuesday. The CoinDesk 20 Index has dropped over 1% in 24 hours.
A firm breakout is expected to happen if the U.S. stock indexes hit new record highs.
“If Bitcoin is looking for external signals, it may remain indecisive until key US stock indices hit new highs. However, we are more inclined to believe that the first cryptocurrency’s stagnation is a sign of a fragile risk appetite that will soon manifest in the broader market,” Alex Kuptsikevich, chief market analyst at the FxPro said in an email.
In the meantime, the IMF flashed a warning on the rising global debt, strengthening the bull case in bitcoin. Stay alert!

What’s trending
Today’s signal
Bitcoin is struggling to rise past its 100-day simple moving average, a widely watched technical level that reflects the average closing price over the period.
This pattern is reminiscent of mid-January, when sellers regained control at the 100-day average and stalled the recovery. Bitcoin saw a sharp decline in the days that followed.
The question now is whether history will repeat itself, or if this time the level finally gives way, paving the way for faster gains to $80,000 and higher.
Bitmine Immersion Technologies posted a $3.82 billion quarterly loss as digital asset values swung widely. The loss occurred despite revenue growth, primarily driven by ether staking rewards.
The company said most of the quarterly loss came from unrealized losses on its digital asset holdings. Bitmine also kept buying ether during the recent market weakness.
Loss Widens as Digital Asset Values Fall
Bitmine reported a net loss of $3.82 billion for the quarter ended Feb. 28, 2026. A year earlier, it posted a net loss of $1.15 million.
For the six months ended Feb. 28, the company reported a net loss above $9 billion. In the same period last year, the loss was $2.1 million.
The latest quarterly result was driven by $3.78 billion in unrealized losses on digital asset holdings. Those losses reflected the change in market value of the company’s crypto assets.
Ether Holdings Keep Growing Despite Market Weakness
Bitmine said it held 4.87 million ETH as of April 12. The holding was worth about $10.7 billion at that date.
The company said that amount represented more than 4% of the total ether supply. It also said it had reached 4.04% of supply as of Monday.
Bitmine’s average purchase price for its ether was $2,206 per coin. According to the report, it aims to control 5% of total ether supply.
Chairman Tom Lee said in March, “Bitmine has been buying Ethereum, as we view this pullback as attractive, given the strengthening fundamentals.” He also said, “In our view, the price of ETH is not reflective of the high utility of ETH and its role as the future of finance.”
On Monday, Lee said the company had increased the pace of ether purchases over the prior four weeks. He added, “The Iran war enters its seventh week and this war remains the most important driver of global markets.”
Revenue Rises on Staking and Other Business Lines
Bitmine reported $11.04 million in revenue for the quarter. That was up from $1.5 million in the same period in 2025.
About $10 million of that total came from ether staking rewards. The rest came from leasing, consulting, and self-mining activities.
Lee said the company had staked 3,334,637 ETH, or about 68% of total holdings. He said that level could support $212 million in annualized revenue, based on a 2.89% seven-day yield.
Beyond ether, Bitmine held $719 million in cash as of April 12. It also held 198 bitcoin, a $200 million stake in Beast Industries, and an $85 million stake in Eightco Holdings.
Last week, Bitmine moved its listing to the New York Stock Exchange from NYSE American. Its shares closed down 0.14% at $21.48 on Tuesday.
Market observers noted that the results reflect volatility in digital asset prices, and that Bitmine’s ether accumulation program remains a focal point for its strategy.
UAE investors shifted toward software and AI infrastructure shares in Q1 2026, according to eToro data. The press release documents which stocks saw the largest gains and how UAE holders responded to ongoing market volatility, including a notable jump in holders for ServiceNow and Adobe as their prices trended lower. It also highlights AI hardware and memory players such as Super Micro Computer, Micron, and Oracle as popular buys, and notes ongoing attention to mega-cap tech. The release frames these moves as selective conviction rather than broad risk-off behavior, with comments from eToro’s MENA MD.
Key points
- ServiceNow led Q1 2026 risers with a 125% increase in holders as the stock fell about 32%, while announcing partnerships with OpenAI and Anthropic.
- AI infrastructure names Super Micro Computer (+65%), Micron (+39%), and Oracle (+38%) also saw notable holder increases in Q1 2026.
- Adobe rose 54% in holders despite roughly 25% price decline and CEO leadership changes noted in the period.
- Micron exception: posted stock gains driven by momentum in AI memory demand and limited new supply.
- Top holdings snapshot: NVIDIA remained first; Amazon rose to second; Tesla third; Microsoft fourth; Apple fifth in the rankings.
Why it matters
These data points suggest UAE investors are selectively engaging with AI and enterprise tech, seeking long-term value amid volatility. The dip-buying pattern in software and AI infrastructure hints at confidence in AI-enabled growth, rather than a blanket risk-off stance. For readers tracking regional sentiment, the mix of mega-cap leaders and niche AI names indicates which parts of the tech value chain are drawing attention in the UAE at the start of 2026.
What to watch
- Updated data after 31 March 2026 will show whether the tilt toward software and AI infrastructure persists.
- ServiceNow’s partnerships with OpenAI and Anthropic may influence investor sentiment.
- Watch for changes in the top held rankings (NVIDIA, Amazon, Tesla, Microsoft, Apple) in upcoming quarters.

UAE Investors Hunt Value in AI and Enterprise Tech Amid Market Volatility
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates – April 15, 2026: Against a backdrop of geopolitical conflict in the Gulf and rising investments in AI, retail investors increased their exposure to software and AI infrastructure stocks whose share prices have taken a hit in the first quarter of 2026, according to the latest data from trading and investing platform, eToro.
eToro looked at which companies saw the largest proportional change in holders quarter-on-quarter (table 1) and also examined the 10 most held stocks on the platform among users based in the UAE (table 2).
Software and SaaS names featured prominently in the Q1 top risers list, suggesting UAE investors used the sector-wide sell-off to buy the dip. ServiceNow topped the list with a 125% jump in holders as its share price fell around 32% in Q1, although in the same quarter it announced partnerships with AI heavyweights OpenAI and Anthropic. Adobe ranked third (54% increase in holders) even as the stock came under pressure over concerns about its ability to defend its core software business against AI disruption. Shares were down about 25% by mid-March, along with news that the chief executive would step down, suggesting UAE investors were buying during the pullback.
AI infrastructure was another clear theme in Q1: Super Micro Computer (+65%) in second place, followed by Micron (+39%) in fifth, and Oracle (+38%) in sixth. Investors appear to have bought into a late-quarter sell-off with Super Micro Computer. The stock had traded largely sideways before tumbling 33% after US prosecutors charged the co-founder over an alleged scheme to smuggle Nvidia-powered servers to China. Oracle also fits the buy-the-dip theme. The stock has been volatile amid concerns about spending tied to its AI cloud expansion.
The standout exception was Micron, one of the few names in the group to post stock price gains over the quarter. The move was driven by stronger momentum from surging demand for AI memory chips and limited new supply.
George Naddaf, Managing Director at eToro (MENA), said: “In Q1, UAE investors approached technology with selectivity and opportunism. Some of the companies that drew the strongest increase in holders had fallen to around 25% to 33%, suggesting investors were willing to buy into the sell-off where they still saw long-term value.”
He added: “Despite talk about the ‘Saaspocalypse’, the idea that AI will dismantle traditional SaaS business models, UAE investors showed sustained interest in software. They are honing in on companies that they believe have a clear role in the tech value chain and potential for monetisation. While geopolitical tensions added to market volatility, the pattern in holdings suggests UAE investors were driven more by sector conviction than by a broad risk-off mindset.”
Other Q1 risers spanned multiple sectors. Investors pushed e.l.f. Beauty to fourth place by increasing holdings 52%. They also drove gains in Duolingo, Gorilla Technology, Hims & Hers Health, and SoFi Technologies, highlighting interest in companies across digital education, IT services, telehealth, and fintech.
Q1’s ‘top fallers’ list featured a mix of industries. Twist Bioscience Corporation led the pack with a 90% decrease in holders, followed by Okta (-49%) and CoreWeave (-47%). BioMarin Pharmaceuticals also saw a big decline, with holders down 35% QoQ.
The most widely held stocks were largely unchanged from last quarter, with only minor reshuffles in the top half. NVIDIA held onto first place, while Amazon rose to second, and Microsoft to fourth. Tesla slipped to third and Apple to fifth, while positions six to ten remain unchanged.
Naddaf remarked: “Local investors’ selective approach to technology is further evidenced by the fact that AI and tech companies feature in both the risers and fallers lists. They appear to be making efforts to distinguish between the winners and laggards of the AI revolution.”
Looking at the most held ranking, he added: “It suggests UAE investors are continuing to treat these names as core positions rather than short-term trades. NVIDIA held onto the top spot, while Amazon moved up to second and Microsoft climbed to fourth, but the ranking is largely unchanged. This points to continued conviction in mega-cap technology companies contributing to AI infrastructure and enterprise applications. In a quarter marked by uncertainty, that kind of stability points to a confidence in scale, earnings visibility, and relevance.”

The rally on Wall Street is closing in on a major milestone. The S&P 500 is now just 0.5% from its all-time high of 7,002 recorded in January 2026
The index has turned positive for the year after a powerful rebound that has added nearly $6 trillion in market value since March 30. That recovery translates to roughly $550 billion per trading day over 10 consecutive sessions, with Tuesday marking the index’s green day.
The S&P 500 Nears Its All-Time High, and the Rally Isn’t Slowing Down
What makes the rebound particularly notable is that it began against a backdrop of geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran. Although both sides agreed to a two-week ceasefire, failed diplomatic negotiations and the US’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz have continued to fuel uncertainty.
Even so, markets have shown remarkable resilience, with equities pushing higher despite the overhang of geopolitical risk.
Follow us on X to get the latest news as it happens
BeInCrypto reported that Citadel Securities executives see room for upside in both stocks and bonds, arguing that the worst-case tail risk from the Iran conflict has been “substantially truncated.”
Separately, Bitmine’s chairman, Tom Lee, said last week that a stock market bottom is already in. He projected that the S&P 500 could climb as high as 7,300 to mark a new all-time high this year.
Hedge Funds Unwind as Sidelined Capital Returns
The shift in positioning tells the story. The Kobeissi Letter noted that in just five trading days, hedge fund short exposure to US ETFs dropped from the highest level since May 2025 to below the 97th percentile of cases over the last five years.
“Meanwhile, the capital that was sidelined amid the Iran War is quickly rotating back into AI stocks. Stocks like Nvidia and Apple were nearly half as cheap as Costco and Walmart on a Forward P/E basis after the recent correction,” the analysts said. All while 4% inflation is back and investors are searching for any source of yield as a hedge. Record highs are on the horizon.”
However, the rally is pushing valuation metrics into historic extremes. Global Markets Investor reported that the Buffett Indicator has risen to 232.6%. That marks the highest reading in history.
The indicator is used to assess whether a stock market is overvalued or undervalued relative to its underlying economy. A value above 100% usually indicates that the former is the case.
The current figure sits well above both the 2000 Dot-Com Bubble peak of 162.6% and the 2021 market high of 218.7%.
“Since the Great Financial Crisis low, the ratio has risen +163.6 percentage points, or more than 3 times. US equities are in uncharted territory,” the post revealed.
Overall, it points to a market that is historically expensive and potentially vulnerable to corrections. Thus, while momentum remains bullish and a fresh record high appears within reach, the backdrop is becoming increasingly complex.

The post S&P 500 Sits 0.5% From All-Time High as Capital Floods Back Into Equities appeared first on BeInCrypto.
U.S. spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds recorded their fourth straight day of inflows on Tuesday as Ethereum touched $2,400 for the first time since February.
Summary
- U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs recorded their fourth consecutive day of inflows, extending total inflows to over $212 million during the streak.
- Ethereum price rose to test the $2,400 resistance level for the first time since February, supported by improved market sentiment and continued institutional demand.
- Bitmine expanded its ETH holdings to 4.87 million tokens, with around 3 million staked.
According to data from SoSoValue, the ten spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $53.03 million in net inflows on April 14, with Fidelity’s FETH drawing in nearly $38 million.
BlackRock’s ETHA followed with $10.49 million in inflows while Grayscale’s ETH and BlackRock’s ETHB contributed more modest inflows of $3.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Notably, none of the remaining ETH ETFs saw any outflows on the day.
This marks the fourth consecutive day of inflows into the investment products, with over $212 million entering the funds. Amidst these favourable conditions, April has turned out to be a positive month for these investment vehicles with $171.2 million drawn in so far after witnessing 5 months of negative flows where nearly $2.8 billion exited the funds.
This is a sign that institutional investors are once again turning towards the Ethereum ecosystem. Previously, such inflows into ETH ETFs helped support broader market liquidity as retail investors followed the institutional lead.
This time, the Ethereum ETFs resumed inflows at a time when renewed hopes of a ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran helped lift global market sentiment following weeks of uncertainty driven by uncertainity driven by the war.
Besides the buying pressure generated by these products, Ethereum treasury company Bitmine has continued to bolster its holdings with aggressive ETH accumulation with the goal of securing atleast 5% of the total ETH supply.
The firm currently holds 4.87 million ETH tokens, nearly 4% of the circulating supply. Out of this, approximately 3.0 million ETH is staked, contributing to the network’s security while generating yield for its treasury.
Bitmine chairman Tom Lee recently described the recent downturn as a “mini crypto winter,” stating that Ethereum is now in the “final stages” of that phase, suggesting the worst of the cycle may already be behind it.
Ethereum (ETH) price rallied 9% on Tuesday to touch the $2,400 threshold before paring off some gains and settling at $2,321 at press time, down 3% over the past 24 hours.
The daily chart shows that the $2,400 marks a significant resistance level since its drop below the psychological barrier in early February this year. Each time the token approached this mark, it faced heavy selling pressure. Hence, a clean breakout above the current ceiling would mark a major shift in market structure and signal a return to a long-term bullish trend.
Technical indicators seem to support a bullish bias in the short term. Notably, the 50-day SMA is closing in on a bullish crossover with the 100-day SMA. Meanwhile, the MACD lines have pointed upwards, indicating strengthening momentum.
Hence, Ethereum price is most likely to continue its uptrend with a break from the $2,400 resistance, potentially opening the doors for a run toward $2,600.
On the contrary, if Ethereum fails to hold its ground and slides towards $2,200, it could see a period of consolidation as bulls look for a stronger floor.

Crypto Whales Just Accumulated 100 Million FET Crypto: So Why Is the Price Still Falling?
Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET crypto) token is trading at $0.2286, down 2.76% in 24 hours, and the next 48 hours could determine whether the recent rally was a structural breakout or an elaborate bull trap.
Volume has climbed sharply, $77.4M to $153M in 24-hour range, yet price continues to bleed.
That divergence is worth watching closely. The token is part of the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, a coalition that has ridden the AI narrative hard in 2025.
Social interactions spiked 305% recently, pushing FET’s AltRank from #297 to #4. Whale accumulation of 100 million tokens drew widespread analyst attention, with CCN noting on March 25 that FET “is targeting $0.40 after crypto whales accumulated 100 million tokens…signaling that sophisticated investors view the move as a structural shift.”
The broader market is only marginally green (+0.3%), but FET is underperforming the Ethereum ecosystem, which is up 12.7%. Geopolitical pressure from US-Iran tensions contributed to a 7.5% drop across risk assets, FET included.
Can FET Crypto Price Recover to $0.30 This Week?
FET is currently consolidating after a falling wedge breakout that produced a 66% weekly surge with a 557% volume spike.
That kind of move doesn’t cool off quietly. The current pullback has the price sitting just above the $0.21–$0.226 support zone, the same level that served as the breakout base. Hold it, and the structure remains intact. Lose it, and the next meaningful floor is around $0.18.
Resistance sits at $0.25–$0.27. A confirmed close above that band opens a path to $0.30–$0.35, with $0.40 as the whale-momentum target if broader AI sentiment re-ignites.
The Ichimoku cloud remains supportive; price is trading above it, but the RSI is flashing overbought, suggesting the pullback may not be over.
FET is at that typical post-breakout pause where the next move depends on whether buyers can actually defend the level, and $0.226 is the one holding things together, because if it stays intact and price pushes back above $0.25 with volume, that is where continuation kicks in and opens a move toward $0.30 to $0.35.
Right now, though, it looks like it is cooling, with price likely chopping between $0.21 and $0.25 while RSI resets, so instead of immediate continuation, you get sideways action before the next move.
The risk is clear: if $0.21 breaks, the whole breakout idea fails, and that is where price can slide toward $0.18 as momentum flips back in favor of sellers.
Upcoming catalysts include Nvidia’s GTC event, ETF flow developments, and Fetch.ai ecosystem integrations, any of which could shift momentum fast. The AI agent narrative cuts both ways right now. Monitor the $0.226 level closely.
LiquidChain Targets Early Mover Upside as FET Tests Key Levels
FET’s chart tells a familiar mid-cycle story: a sharp move higher, followed by a test of conviction. For traders already holding FET at these levels, the risk-reward is narrowing (even the bull case tops out near $0.40 on a token with an existing nine-figure market cap).
Early-stage infrastructure is where asymmetric bets are still available, and LiquidChain is one presale drawing attention in that category.
LiquidChain is a Layer 3 blockchain engineered to unify Bitcoin’s capital base, Ethereum’s DeFi depth, and Solana’s execution speed into a single environment.
The pitch isn’t theoretical: assets from all three chains are verifiably represented on the L3 without wrapping, creating deep, fungible markets. Developers deploy once and access users across all three ecosystems.
The presale token, $LIQUID, is priced at $0.01449, with $673,819.16 raised to date. That’s early. Presales carry real risk — illiquidity, execution uncertainty, and no guaranteed exchange listing — so due diligence is non-negotiable. For those willing to do the work: research LiquidChain here.

Winklevoss Capital moves $43 million in bitcoin to custody after lowest balance since 2012
Some 572 bitcoin worth $42.77 million moved from a Gemini hot wallet into wallets owned by Winklevoss Capital and custody wallets in the past 24 hours, according to Arkham Intelligence data, the first significant transfers into the fund’s addresses in over a month.
The transfers came in two batches. One of 372 BTC and one of 200 BTC about 11 hours later. Both moved from addresses tagged by Arkham as belonging to the crypto exchange to addresses tagged as Winklevoss Capital and Gemini Custody.
Winklevoss Capital now holds 9,328 BTC worth $689 million across 128 tracked addresses, up from about 8,800 BTC after a $128.5 million deposit into Gemini roughly a month ago that brought holdings to their lowest level since 2012.
It also holds 70,588 ETH worth $163.7 million, bringing its total tracked portfolio to approximately $853 million, the Arkham data show.
The onchain data shows the direction of movement, not the intent. The transfers could reflect new purchases, internal rebalancing between Gemini’s exchange and custody infrastructure, or a partial reversal of last month’s deposit.
Gemini Space Station (GEMI), founded by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, has faced mounting financial pressure this year.
Bloomberg reported last week that the company has lost more than half its market value in 2026, cut 30% of its workforce and exited markets including the U.K., EU, and Australia.
The Winklevoss brothers have roughly $330 million in outstanding bitcoin-denominated loans to the company, and one idea being discussed internally involves converting that debt into equity, Bloomberg said.

Morgan Stanley is set to report first-quarter earnings before the opening bell Wednesday.
Here’s what Wall Street expects:
- Earnings: $3 a share, according to LSEG
- Revenue: $19.72 billion, according to LSEG
- Investment banking: $2.1 billion, according to StreetAccount
- Trading: Equities of $4.7 billion, fixed income of $2.82 billion, according to StreetAccount
Morgan Stanley is expected to benefit from robust investment banking and trading revenue in the quarter, as rivals JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs have shown in their reports this week.
Stocks were whipsawed in the first quarter on concerns over AI-led disruption and the Iran war, which may have impacted the fees collected by the firm’s massive wealth management business.
Analysts will want to know what CEO Ted Pick has to say on the business outlook for the rest of the year as geopolitical tensions remain high.
