Vanguard Weighs Opening Brokerage Access to Crypto ETFs

Early reporting points to exploratory talks with external partners.

Overview

  • Crypto In America, as relayed by CoinCentral and CryptoSlate, reports that Vanguard is evaluating ways to let U.S. brokerage clients access cryptocurrency ETFs.
  • The company has not announced filings or a launch timeline, and any move remains unconfirmed and dependent on regulatory clarity and measured client demand.
  • CryptoSlate reports that discussions focus on allowing trading in select third-party crypto ETFs rather than developing in-house products.
  • Competitors have advanced their offerings, including Morgan Stanley’s partnership with Zerohash targeting a first-half 2026 rollout and E*Trade’s expanded direct crypto access.
  • Coverage links the reconsideration to perceived regulatory progress and strong ETF traction, citing more than $70 billion of inflows and over $150 billion in assets across Bitcoin and Ethereum funds.
