Morgan Stanley said on November 10 that it has agreed to acquire Vinyl Equity, a SEC-registered digital transfer agent founded in 2022, to expand its Morgan Stanley at Work business and build infrastructure for future asset tokenization. The deal, whose financial terms were not disclosed, is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027. Morgan Stanley plans to combine equity structure management, equity incentives, securities transfer and wealth management services after the acquisition. The bank said blockchain, atomic settlement and tokenization are changing how securities ownership is registered and transferred, and the purchase is meant to support those businesses. The move signals a major Wall Street firm building transfer-agent rails for tokenized securities ahead of a 2027 close; watch for integration details and any tokenized offerings tied to Morgan Stanley at Work.
