Bitcoin ETF market summary: The path of fee reduction and what the future holds
Morgan Stanley launched its own spot Bitcoin ETF, MSBT(NYSE Arca: MSBT), on April 8 with an expense ratio of 0.14%, 11 basis points lower than BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust(IBIT), low enough to immediately reset price expectations in the $128 billion Bitcoin ETF market.

The initial launch achieved $33.9 million in inflows on the first day, with over 1.6 million shares traded, marking a strong debut for a product entering a market already dominated by established institutional capital. Alison Wallace, Global Head of ETF Strategies at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, described the pricing as deliberate: “We really wanted to demonstrate our commitment by offering these low fees,” citing strong demand from high-net-worth investors as the main driver.
