Morgan Stanley Bitcoin ETF launch 'imminent,' analyst says

Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas indicated that Morgan Stanley's spot Bitcoin ETF launch is likely imminent, citing the New York Stock Exchange's official announcement of the fund's listing. This development is significant as Morgan Stanley would be the first major bank to issue a Bitcoin ETF, leveraging its extensive network of financial advisors. The firm filed its application in January and recently submitted an amended S-1 registration statement, confirming the fund's listing on NYSE Arca under the ticker MSBT.
