Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin exchange-traded fund, MSBT, is set to debut on the NYSE Arca stock exchange on Wednesday, making it the first major commercial bank to offer a Bitcoin ETF in the US. The launch will compete with BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) and Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), which have received $74.3 billion in net inflows since launching in January 2024. The bank set its MSBT fee at a market-low 0.14%, potentially forcing rivals to cut costs to stay competitive.
