Morgan Stanley Targets Bitcoin, Ether, Solana ETFs
Morning Minute: Morgan Stanley Files for Bitcoin, ETH and Solana ETFs
Morgan Stanley filed paperwork with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch spot Bitcoin and Solana exchange-traded funds (ETFs) yesterday, followed shortly by a filing for an Ethereum ETF as well, expanding the range of regulated crypto products tied to major assets.
The filings cover ETFs linked to Bitcoin, Ether and Solana. If approved, these products would provide investors access to those crypto assets through traditional brokerage accounts and fund platforms, using the ETF wrapper that has become a central route for mainstream participation in U.S. markets.
The move is notable because it represents Morgan Stanley’s first foray into crypto-focused ETFs, arriving two years after the explosion of crypto-focused ETFs in the US brought them into the mainstream. That broader wave has helped normalize crypto exposure inside familiar, regulated investment vehicles.
While an SEC filing is not an approval, the submissions show that a top-tier Wall Street bank is seeking to offer spot crypto ETFs across multiple major networks—Bitcoin and Ethereum, alongside Solana—highlighting how crypto has increasingly been packaged into conventional investment products.
