Биткойн ETF за первую неделю привлек 100 миллионов долларов! Высокопоставленный представитель Morgan Stanley: криптовалюта уже стала частью ядра компании

Morgan Stanley Bitcoin ETF (MSBT) with a 0.14% lowest fee rate in the entire market, net inflow exceeded $100 million in the first week of listing, setting a record for the firm’s ETF debut. Digital assets have been incorporated into its core strategy.

Setting the fastest growth record, MSBT breaks through with low fee advantage

Morgan Stanley recently officially entered the cryptocurrency market. Its Bitcoin ETF, trading code MSBT, demonstrated remarkable growth momentum in its first week of listing.

According to the latest data from Farside Investors, this new fund, launched on April 8, reached a net inflow of over $100 million in just 6 trading days, totaling $103 million. By the time of writing, the total net inflow over 7 days was $116 million.

This achievement set the most successful debut record for Morgan Stanley’s ETF, surpassing many earlier competitors in a very short period. On Wednesday, MSBT attracted $19.3 million in a single day, with accumulated assets directly surpassing the WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund (WBTC) listed in January 2024. MSBT has experienced strong growth thanks to its highly competitive fee policy.

The fund’s current expense ratio is 0.14%, the lowest fee standard in the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF market, one basis point lower than Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust’s 0.15%. This price war strategy is quite common in the asset management industry. Morgan Stanley, leveraging its large brand influence and low costs, successfully attracts price-sensitive investors.

Digital assets shift to core strategy, Morgan Stanley fully innovates financial infrastructure

Digital assets have evolved into an indispensable part of Morgan Stanley’s daily operations. Amy Oldenburg, head of digital asset strategy, emphasizes that the company is at a critical turning point, with cryptocurrencies officially entering its core. Oldenburg took over her current position in February this year, overseeing the development of digital assets in institutional wealth management and asset management departments, indicating that the bank is deeply integrating cryptocurrencies into its core financial services system.

To achieve deep integration, Morgan Stanley is currently committed to全面刷新金融基础设施，涵盖钱包系统、托管方案、数据传输以及合规监控。团队正深入拆解现有的工作流程，旨在理解资金流动、交易机制以及整合区块链技术的各项挑战。虽然代币化资产与稳定币的监管环境尚未完全明朗，摩根士丹利将代币化技术视为构建高附加价值服务的重要步骤。该行未来几年的技术革新重点，将聚焦于在高达 5,000 万至 1 亿美元规模的交易中实现扩展性。

Wall Street giants accelerate布局，结构化投资产品成为下一个战场

Wall Street top financial institutions are accelerating responses to Morgan Stanley’s offensive. Goldman Sachs recently submitted an application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, officially entering the crypto investment industry. The new product uses options strategies to generate additional income, with market demand shifting towards structured products that provide stable cash flow. BlackRock is also preparing a similar income-generating ETF, increasing competition among institutions.

Morgan Stanley’s vast wealth management network gives it an advantage. Its managed client assets amount to trillions of dollars, with thousands of financial advisors, providing a direct channel to mainstream investors for Bitcoin. Many investors prefer to invest through regulated accounts rather than trading on native crypto platforms. MSBT offers a convenient entry point for this. Established financial institutions have realized they cannot ignore Bitcoin ($BTC). It is expected that giants like JPMorgan will follow suit, accelerating Bitcoin’s integration into mainstream finance.

Overview of the global Bitcoin ETF market, institutional inflows support price momentum

The influence of the 13 Bitcoin spot ETFs in the U.S. continues to expand. As of April 16, the total net assets of these funds reached $97.6 billion, accounting for about 6.5% of Bitcoin’s total market cap. On April 15, the entire market recorded $186 million in net inflows. Although MSBT’s asset size and BlackRock’s IBIT with $64.3 billion still lag behind, its growth rate already threatens established players like Franklin, Valkyrie, and Invesco, which have net inflows between $200 million and $400 million.

Competition within the ETF industry is fierce, with average lifespan shrinking from 4.66 years in 2024 to 3.5 years in 2025. In the first two months of 2026, over 40 ETFs have been liquidated. Currently, major crypto ETFs have not been affected by the liquidation wave. Bitcoin prices fluctuate around $74,600 to $75,000, still distant from the October 2025 high of $126,000, but institutional inflows continue to support strong fundamentals for Bitcoin. As traditional financial infrastructure improves, the integration of Bitcoin and Wall Street has become an established trend.
