Morgan Stanley Files for Spot Ethereum and Solana ETFs With Staking at a 0.14% Fee

The Market Context in 60 Seconds
  1. 01 Morgan Stanley Investment Management, the money-management arm of the Wall Street bank, asked the SEC in updated Form S-1 filings on June 18 to launch two crypto exchange-traded funds, one holding Ethereum and one holding Solana.
  2. 02 Both funds would charge a yearly fee of 0.14%, the lowest any US issuer has proposed for an Ethereum or Solana fund, and would list on the NYSE Arca exchange under the tickers MSSE and MSOL.
  3. 03 Each fund would also stake a slice of its coins, locking them up to help run the blockchain in return for rewards, using outside firms Figment, Galaxy and Coinbase Canada.
  4. 04 The paperwork is still preliminary, so neither fund can begin trading until the SEC declares the registration effective, a step that has no set date.
  5. 05 The open questions are whether regulators clear the funds and whether rival issuers answer the 0.14% fee with cuts of their own.
