The next major milestone to watch is a final round of amendments setting launch mechanics, where the market will learn whether Wall Street\u2019s biggest wealth manager can bring staking-enabled ether and <a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/solana?utm_source=bitcoin_news\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">solana<\/a> funds to its 19,000 advisers (and whether the 0.14% fee survives contact with competitors willing to go lower).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/morgan-stanley-ether-solana-etf-coinbase-custody\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Morgan Stanley updated S-1s for its Ethereum and Solana trusts on July 14, with Coinbase handling custody.
