Morgan Stanley Investment Management has launched two new exchange-traded products tracking Ether and Solana, both with staking rewards passed directly to investors, a first in the crypto ETP space.<\/p>\n
This extends a crypto push that began with its Bitcoin fund in April 2026. The move makes Morgan Stanley one of the first major US commercial banks to bring yield-bearing crypto exposure into regulated, exchange-listed wrappers.<\/p>\n
These ETPs went live just as SOL and ETH are trading up +1% and +1.6% in the past 24 hours, respectively. ETH is sitting at $1,910, just above support at $1,900, while SOL is at $73.80, holding onto its support level at $70.<\/p>\n
BREAKING: Morgan Stanley launches a Solana ETP, $MSOL<\/a>, on NYSE Arca.<\/p>\n Their first crypto ETP pulled $381M in months. SOL now sits inside a $14B product suite, staked, with every reward passed to investors. pic.twitter.com\/WQjmEKnxpE<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Solana (@solana) July 28, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n The Morgan Stanley Ethereum Trust (NYSE Arca: MSSE) and Morgan Stanley Solana Trust (NYSE Arca: MSOL) each carry a 0.14% expense ratio.<\/p>\n Both funds intend to stake a portion of their holdings, with all staking rewards flowing through to investors. Morgan Stanley said it will not retain any portion of the staking rewards earned by either fund, a notable commitment at a time when fee and yield structures vary widely across competing products.<\/p>\n Staking, in plain terms, means locking up a share of your ETH or SOL to help validate transactions on the Ethereum and Solana proof-of-stake networks and earn protocol-level rewards in return. Those rewards, rather than being pocketed by the fund manager, are passed to shareholders.<\/p>\n For investors tracking Ethereum\u2019s near-term price trajectory<\/a>, institutional demand of this scale adds a structural demand signal on top of existing spot ETF flows.<\/p>\n BREAKING: Morgan Stanley Investment Management (MSIM) launches Ethereum Staking ETP.<\/p>\n MSIM, which manages ~$2 trillion in total AUM, has launched the Morgan Stanley Ethereum Trust (MSSE).<\/p>\n 0.14% expense ratio, with an expected 95% of staking rewards passed to investors. pic.twitter.com\/1flhuyMtV1<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ethereum Institutional (@ethereuminsti) July 28, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n The Ether and Solana ETPs follow the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust (NYSE Arca: MSBT), which launched in April 2026 and had accumulated more than $381M in assets under management as of July 16, according to the company.<\/p>\n That Bitcoin fund carried the same 0.14% expense ratio, positioning the entire suite as a low-cost alternative to incumbents like Grayscale. Earlier in July, Morgan Stanley also rolled out spot cryptocurrency trading on its E*TRADE platform via a partnership with crypto infrastructure provider Zero Hash.<\/p>\n This gives eligible retail clients direct access to Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana. The ETP launches and the trading platform together suggest a coordinated strategy rather than a one-off product decision.<\/p>\n Trade SOL and ETH on ByBit and Join 99Bitcoin\u2019s Exclusive $1000 USDT Airdrop Campaign<\/span><\/a>\n<\/p>\n $SOL<\/a> \u2013 D1<\/p>\n Very disappointing development for SOL too.<\/p>\n At must hold\/bounce or kekusmaximusRIPus.<\/p>\n Likely better to wait for a reclaim of D1 100 MA to chase gap to D1 200 EMA.

Traders watching for a SOL break above the $80 level<\/a> will now have an additional institutional catalyst to factor into their analysis.<\/p>\n The competitive pressure on fees is equally significant. At 0.14%, Morgan Stanley\u2019s products undercut many existing crypto ETPs, and the firm\u2019s network of roughly 19,000 financial advisers gives it a distribution advantage that most crypto-native asset managers cannot match, according to background research on the filings.<\/p>\n The central question going forward is whether AUM growth in MSSE and MSOL tracks or outpaces the Bitcoin Trust\u2019s $381 million ramp \u2013 and whether sustained inflows translate into ETH and SOL outperforming other large-cap crypto assets over the next several quarters.<\/p>\n EXPLORE:\u00a0Best Crypto Presales With Asymmetric Upside in the Current Market<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The post Morgan Stanley\u2019s MSSE and MSOL ETPs Bring Staking Yields to Regulated Crypto<\/a> appeared first on 99Bitcoins<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Morgan Stanley Investment Management has launched two new exchange-traded products tracking Ether and Solana, both with staking rewards passed directly to investors, a first in the crypto ETP space.
