  • Morgan Stanley Launches Bitcoin ETF, Rated in Top 1% by Analyst
    April 13, 2026, 10:07 AM EDT. Morgan Stanley debuted its Bitcoin spot ETF, MSBT, with a low sponsor fee of 0.14%, generating over $25 million in half a day. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas ranked the launch in the top 1% of all ETF debuts. The ETF complements Morgan Stanley's crypto strategy, which includes Ethereum and Solana trusts. Despite muted investor interest in crypto this year, Bitcoin ETFs have garnered more than $1 billion in net inflows in 2026, with Morgan Stanley recommending a 2% to 4% crypto allocation to clients. Coinbase Institutional and BNY Mellon serve as custodians of MSBT, signaling growing financial sector acceptance. However, other major banks may hesitate to follow Morgan Stanley into crypto ETFs soon.
