Morgan Stanley has submitted amended S-1 registration filings to the Securities and Exchange Commission for its proposed Ethereum and Solana exchange traded funds.
The updated filings signal continued progress in discussions with regulators, though the official launch timeline still depends on SEC approval.
Morgan Stanley Nears ETH and SOL ETF Launch
The Wall Street giant updated its filings on Thursday, revealing that both ETFs will carry a sponsorship fee of 0.14%.
Eric Balchunas, ETF analyst at Bloomberg, noted that this fee would make Morgan Stanley’s ETH and SOL ETFs the cheapest products in both the U.S. market and globally.
For comparison, Grayscale currently offers the lowest fee among Ethereum ETFs through its Mini Ethereum Trust at 0.15%, while Franklin Templeton has one of the lowest fee Solana ETFs at 0.19%.
The filings also reveal that both ETFs will include staking features. Morgan Stanley plans to stake a portion of the ETH and SOL held in the funds to generate additional rewards.
Figment and Galaxy Blockchain Infrastructure have been selected as staking providers.
Under the proposed structure, custodians will receive 5% of staking rewards as compensation, while the remaining 95% will stay within the funds. This allows investors to benefit from both staking rewards and potential price appreciation in ETH and SOL.
Morgan Stanley initially filed for these ETFs in January 2026, and this marks the second major amendment to the applications. If approved, the Solana ETF is expected to trade under the ticker MSOL, while the Ethereum ETF will trade as MSSE.
MSBT Crosses $300 Million in Net Inflows
Morgan Stanley also filed for its Bitcoin focused product, the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust, around the same period.
The ETF launched in April with a strong debut, attracting $34 million in inflows on its first trading day while offering the same competitive 0.14% sponsorship fee.
The fund maintained a zero outflow streak throughout its first month, with only one outflow day recorded since launch on May 29.
According to data from SoSoValue, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of $90.66 million on June 18, reflecting continued weakness across much of the broader ETF market.
Despite that trend, Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin Trust stood out by recording the largest single day inflow at $10.43 million. This pushed MSBT’s total net inflows above $301 million, highlighting strong investor interest in the product.#crypto#cryptonews https://coinsignals.net https://t.me/coinsignalpublic
