Amy Oldenburg: Morgan Stanley Insider on Why Bitcoin's Stuck, How Much to Own, and What's Next

Morgan Stanley manages trillions — and it's now putting Bitcoin in front of clients.

Amy Oldenburg runs the firm's digital asset strategy, and she joins Natalie Brunell to break down what Wall Street actually sees in Bitcoin, why the price has been stuck, and what could finally move it. She also explains how much Bitcoin Morgan Stanley tells clients to own, why most financial advisors still aren't on board, and her honest take on where the price goes over the next 5 years.

Topics:

• Why a 26-year Wall Street veteran embraced Bitcoin
• How much Bitcoin Morgan Stanley recommends owning
• Why Bitcoin is stuck even as the banks pile in
• What could spark the next big move
• Her real 5-year and 10-year Bitcoin outlook
• Why "all crypto is the same" is a costly mistake
