🚀 MORGAN STANLEY JUST SAID “YES” TO CRYPTO

Morgan Stanley, one of the most conservative investment banks in the U.S., just told investors to allocate up to 4% of their portfolio into crypto.

Yep, the same bank that used to keep crypto at arm’s length now officially sees it as a growth play, especially in today’s macro environment.

But they didn’t stop there. Their crypto allocation guidance varies based on investor profiles:

  • 4%: For high-risk, high-growth investors

  • 2-3%: For moderate-risk profiles

  • 0%: For conservative, capital-preserving investors

The report frames crypto as a “speculative asset” but admits it's becoming too widespread to ignore. That alone is a huge signal.

And when you compare it with other giants:

  • BlackRock and Fidelity suggest ~2%

  • Grayscale and VanEck go further: 5-6%

Morgan Stanley’s recommendation is in the middle, but coming from them, it’s a serious green light for institutions. So why does 4% matter?

Morgan Stanley used to be one of the most conservative names in traditional finance when it came to crypto. Now they’re officially recommending exposure.

Big banks are starting to treat crypto as a real diversification tool and a growth opportunity.

And remember: 4% sounds small, but across global portfolios worth hundreds of trillions of dollars…

→ Even a tiny allocation shift into crypto = trillions in new capital → enough to trigger an entire new market cycle.

And I don’t think this is just a passive recommendation. When a bank like Morgan Stanley makes a move like this, it usually comes with product launches behind the scenes.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we see them drop a Digital Asset Treasury Fund (DAT), or new ETFs soon.

Does this 4% allocation call from Morgan Stanley mark the start of institutional inflows in 2026? 

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, this is a good moment to re-check your positioning.

🟢 METEORA $MET TGE: HIGH FLOAT, LOW FDV

Meteora, one of the top liquidity protocols on Solana, just revealed its tokenomics ahead of the $MET token launch on October 23, 2025. And there are some big highlights.

1/ High Float, Low FDV

48% of total supply will be circulating at TGE. Meteora is releasing nearly half the supply upfront to avoid future unlock drama.

If you believe in the project, hold. If not, sell early, let the market filter itself. It’s pure, clean, and transparent.

2/ Who Gets What from the 1B $MET Pie?

met-tokenomics

MET Tokenomics

➤ 48% unlocked at TGE:

  • 20% (200M) for Mercurial holders, legacy users from their previous project

  • 15% (150M) for Meteora LPs, actual users who provided liquidity. Likely based on Points, so meme farmers probably farmed well

  • 3% for $JUP.X ( ▼ 3.1% ) stakers, their close friends at Jupiter Exchange

  • 2% for contributors like devs, writers, community builders

  • 3% for CEXs, launchpads, and market makers to boost liquidity

➤ 52% locked and vested:

  • 18% to the core team, vested linearly over 6 years → pretty fair, no early dumps

  • 34% to the Meteora Reserve to be used for growth, incentives, and future ecosystem support

Seems like Meteora is timing this TGE during a high-liquidity cycle. With a high float model, launching in a dry market would be suicide.

3/ Comparison with $JUP: Two Different Paths on Solana

Both Meteora ($MET) and Jupiter ($JUP) are major DeFi projects on Solana but their tokenomics strategies are completely different.

  • Meteora chose to let the market self-regulate price early

  • Jupiter chose long-term expectation management with gradual unlocks

So we can see that $MET is more transparent but potentially more volatile, $JUP is more controlled but less likely to find fair price discovery right away.

4/ Estimated FDV and Circulating Market Cap of $MET

As of Oct 2025, Meteora is one of Solana’s top 6 revenue protocols, with >$1.6M/week in revenue, behind only Jupiter and Pump(.)fun.

With 1B total supply and 48% unlocked at TGE, here are 3 realistic valuation scenarios:

  • 🟢 Low Valuation ($300M–$500M FDV) → real cashflow, safer for long-term holders

  • ⚖️ Fair Valuation ($1B–$3B FDV) → we assume solid LGE and continued top-5 revenue ranking

  • 🔴 High Valuation (>$3B FDV) → high upside, but it requires breakout growth and Solana inflows

If Meteora maintains current momentum, $1B–$2B FDV is the most reasonable case.
