  • Morgan Stanley Launches First Major Wall Street Spot Bitcoin ETF
    April 30, 2026, 11:57 AM EDT. Morgan Stanley debuted MSBT, its spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), marking the first from a major Wall Street bank. The ETF charges a 0.14% fee aimed at attracting institutional investors. Despite this, markets remain cautious; Bitcoin reaching $80,000 in April dropped from 26% to 17% YES on prediction markets the same day. This decline signals skepticism that the ETF alone will drive significant short-term price gains. Year-end Bitcoin price optimism remains modest at 5% YES, hampered by thin liquidity and broader concerns like regulatory and geopolitical challenges. Monitoring inflows into MSBT and rivals like BlackRock's IBIT will be crucial to gauge real institutional interest.
