The Wall Street investment bank plans to charge just 14 basis points (0.14%) on its new BTC ETF, a level below current low-cost options for similar products, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Analysts have been quick to say that Morgan Stanley’s pricing could set off a new round of fee competition among existing spot Bitcoin funds. Existing Bitcoin ETFs typically charge 15 to 25 basis points to investors. The lowest fee on the market today is Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF BTC -3.70% ▼ that carries a 0.15% expense ratio. Larger BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust IBIT -3.66% ▼ charges 0.25%.
New ETF Competition
Spot Bitcoin ETFs offer near-identical exposure to the cryptocurrency, so funds must differentiate themselves on price. Investors can easily move from one spot Bitcoin ETF to another with a single trade, keeping the same exposure while lowering their fees.
Morgan Stanley’s spot Bitcoin ETF is expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange in the coming week under the ticker symbol “MSBT. The fund is the first new entrant among about a dozen spot Bitcoin ETFs since the other listed in 2024. Morgan Stanley is proceeding with its Bitcoin ETF despite the current crypto winter.
