That makes them the lowest-priced products in their respective categories at launch, undercutting competing ether and solana funds.<\/p>\n<h2>Staking Adds Another Point of Competition<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/morgan-stanley-etrade-crypto-rollout-complete\/\">Morgan Stanley<\/a> plans to stake part of each trust\u2019s holdings to earn rewards from the Ethereum and Solana networks. The company said it will not retain any share of those rewards, allowing the benefits to flow back into the products.<\/p>\n<p>Staking may improve returns, but it also introduces risks. Assets can become temporarily unavailable during network entry and exit periods. Validator errors may also result in penalties known as slashing. Morgan Stanley therefore expects to stake less than the trusts\u2019 full holdings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDigital assets are becoming an increasingly important component of diversified investment portfolios. As client interest in digital assets continues to grow, we\u2019re focused on providing a range of digital asset solutions that allow investors to diversify their portfolios across traditional and decentralized asset classes,\u201d Amy Oldenburg, Morgan Stanley\u2019s head of digital asset strategy, said in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20260728852760\/en\/Morgan-Stanley-Investment-Management-Expands-ETP-Offerings-With-Launch-of-Ethereum-and-Solana-Exchange-Traded-Products\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announcement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Wall Street Reach Could Reshape the Market<\/h2>\n<p>The launches follow the <a href=\"https:\/\/sosovalue.com\/bigChart\/Etf_NYSE_MSBT?title=Morgan%20Stanley%20Bitcoin%20Trust(MSBT)&amp;coin=BTC&amp;page=usBTC&amp;isDynamicHkPage=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust<\/a>, which accumulated more than $400 million in cumulative net flows by July 27 after debuting earlier in 2026.
