Morgan Stanley’s Lowest-Fee Bitcoin ETF Is Just the Start as Bank Eyes Tokenization, Tax Tools

Morgan Stanley, only days removed from rolling out MSBT, is signaling it has bigger crypto ambitions than just bitcoin.

For one of Wall Street’s heavyweight wealth managers, it’s a sign there’s more in the pipeline than a fresh ticker symbol.

  • XNTK Tops QQQ Last Year With Equal-Weight Tech Strategy
    July 15, 2026, 8:37 PM EDT. XNTK, a 35-name tech ETF, beat QQQ by 23 percentage points last year and is up 272 points on the past ten years. XNTK runs equal-weighting, so each stock pulls the same weight, while QQQ follows market cap. That helped boost names like Broadcom and Palantir, up 776% and 503% over five years. But XNTK's pure tech focus leaves it more exposed to sector swings. The fund resets holdings equally every quarter, so big names like NVIDIA get no extra edge over smaller tech bets.
