Morgan Stanley Submits Spot Bitcoin ETF Filing for 0.14% Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust
Morgan Stanley has filed to launch a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund, proposing the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust with a 0.14% annual fee. The trust would hold bitcoin directly, avoid leverage and derivatives, and list on NYSE Arca with custody shared by Bank of New York Mellon and Coinbase Custody. The filing comes as lawmakers weigh stablecoin and market-structure bills that could shape how crypto products compete with traditional banking.
