US EditionMorgan Stanley files for bitcoin, solana ETFs in digital assets push
- On Jan. 6, Morgan Stanley filed a Form S‑1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to launch the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust, a spot bitcoin ETF sponsored by Morgan Stanley Investment Management that will hold bitcoin directly and trade on a national exchange if approved.
- Morgan Stanley is shifting from distributing third‑party crypto products to building in‑house ETFs after its wealth management arm opened crypto access to clients last year, aiming to keep fees in‑house rather than paying competitors.
- Fund filings describe daily NAVs computed from a designated bitcoin pricing benchmark; the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust and Morgan Stanley Solana Trust will hold crypto directly, operate passively, and execute cash transactions via third‑party bitcoin counterparties with authorized participants creating or redeeming shares in large blocks.
- If approved, the ETFs could broaden client access to crypto through Morgan Stanley’s advisor network, with existing spot crypto funds growing to more than $1 billion after nearly $800 million inflows and net inflows topping $1.1 billion since the start of the year.
- SoSoValue data shows spot crypto ETFs now hold $123 billion, about 6.57% of bitcoin’s market cap, while BlackRock’s spot bitcoin ETFs reached allocations nearing $100 billion last year.
