Morgan Stanley Bitcoin ETF Trades $34M On Debut

Cointelegraph
Morgan Stanley's new spot Bitcoin ETF debuted with $30.6 million in inflows and $34 million in total trading volume on the NYSE Arca.

Summary

Morgan Stanley launched its first spot Bitcoin ETF, the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust (MSBT), on the NYSE Arca. The fund recorded $30.6 million in inflows and $34 million in trading volume on its first day, slightly exceeding analyst expectations. While the launch marks a significant move for a traditional Wall Street bank, it remains modest compared to the industry-leading BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which saw $40 million in inflows the same day. Despite the positive debut for MSBT, the broader US spot Bitcoin ETF market faced net outflows of $124.5 million, largely driven by selling in the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) and the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB).
