There have been many news reports in the crypto market these days, and traditional finance is also accelerating its follow-up.

Morgan Stanley filed an S-1 form with the SEC, preparing to launch a spot Bitcoin ETF and a spot Solana ETF with staking support—this indicates that mainstream financial institutions are not only interested in Bitcoin but are also exploring Ethereum competitors at an accelerated pace.

On the other hand, the US spot Bitcoin ETF experienced a net outflow of $243M on Tuesday, with Fidelity's FBTC leading the way. This breaks the continuous net inflow trend since the beginning of the year and suggests that investors may be making adjustments at high levels.

MicroStrategy's stock price has actually strengthened. MSCI confirmed that there are no immediate index inclusion restrictions for companies holding digital assets as treasury assets, giving more room for listed companies with aggressive crypto allocations.

The financial sector is also taking action—Barclays quietly acquired a stake in Ubyx, a US stablecoin clearing startup. This is the first move by this long-established UK investment bank in the regulated tokenized funds field. The market is evolving, and money is flowing into new directions.

BTC-0.51%

SOL-0.84%

Morgan Stanley is working on a Solana ETF? Alright, now SOL is officially being targeted by the mainstream financial sector. It seems that mainstream finance really doesn't want to miss out on any track.

Morgan Stanley is launching a Solana ETF? Is it true? Are they trying to push SOL into the mainstream this time? By the way, a BTC outflow of 243M is normal; you should have sold at the high. The institutional accounts like FBTC should have already withdrawn.

Morgan Stanley's move is well played, but whether the staking feature on Solana is well-designed remains to be seen... Anyway, I'm just waiting to see the results.

Morgan Stanley has entered the scene, and traditional finance can no longer sit still. What does a 243M outflow mean? Adjustments at high levels are normal. The real money is pouring into chains like Solana, and that's the key point.

Morgan Stanley is planning to launch a Solana spot ETF? Traditional finance is really starting to get involved. Now the story of SOL can be told for even longer.

Morgan Stanley's recent moves are really impressive. Is the Solana staking ETF about to surge? Traditional finance is really losing patience now. This might be traditional finance becoming smarter, no longer just focusing on Bitcoin as the only tree, but starting to dig into the ecosystem. There are still people building at high levels, and the net outflow of FBTC indicates that big players are aware of the situation. Barclays is playing quite aggressively, quietly positioning in stablecoins. Old investment banks really know how to hide their tricks. I don't quite understand the trend of MicroStrategy, but as long as it’s a company associated with crypto, it’s easy to explain. Money is really flowing, but the question is, can retail investors keep up? This wave is moving pretty fast. It feels like I wake up to a new story every day. Even this competitor Sol is being looked at now. Has the market’s taste changed?

Morgan Stanley is launching a Solana ETF, now the competition is really heating up—it's no longer just the era of BTC.

With this pace, are institutions bottoming out or retail investors panic selling? Seeing the outflow numbers is a bit uncomfortable.
