Guys did you see what just happened today? Morgan Stanley just launched its own spot Bitcoin ETF called MSBT on NYSE Arca. This is the FIRST time a major US bank has put its own name on a Bitcoin ETF. Not BlackRock. Not Fidelity. A traditional Wall Street bank with 16,000 financial advisors and $6.2 trillion in client assets.
And the fee? Just 0.14%. That is cheaper than BlackRock's IBIT at 0.25% and even cheaper than Grayscale's Mini Trust at 0.15%. They literally undercut everyone on day one.
Think about this for a second. Morgan Stanley manages $9.3 trillion in total client wealth. All of those advisors can now recommend MSBT directly to their wealthy clients. That is a massive distribution channel that no other Bitcoin ETF has.
They are also filing for Ethereum and Solana trusts and planning to launch crypto trading on ETrade later this year. This is not a one time thing. They are building a full crypto infrastructure inside a traditional bank.
Now here is what I want to discuss with you all. Do you think MSBT can actually compete with BlackRock's IBIT which already has $70 billion in assets? Or is it too late because investors have already picked their favorite ETFs? Does a lower fee even matter when IBIT already dominates?
Also what does this mean for BTC price? More institutional money coming in or is this already priced in?
Drop your thoughts below. I want to hear what the community thinks.
