  • Morgan Stanley's Bitcoin ETF Gains Ground as BlackRock's IBIT Sees $167 Million Outflow
    April 30, 2026, 11:46 AM EDT. Morgan Stanley's Bitcoin Trust (MSBT) has gained traction, attracting $10.81 million since early April while BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) faced a $166.98 million net outflow. MSBT holds around $197.7 million in Bitcoin, compared to IBIT's approximately $61.11 billion. Unlike IBIT, which ended a 13-day inflow streak, MSBT has never recorded a net daily outflow. Morgan Stanley's lower fee of 0.14% annually versus IBIT's 0.25% is part of its strategy to lure investors in the competitive spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) market. Morgan Stanley, managing $9.2 trillion in assets, sees potential for MSBT to attract significant investment, despite BlackRock's larger $14 trillion asset base and stronger liquidity.
