Banking giant Morgan Stanley has submitted an amended Bitcoin ETF filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Summary
  • Morgan Stanley has amended its Bitcoin ETF filing, confirming ticker MSBT on NYSE Arca and outlining a $1 million seed structure through 50,000 shares.
  • The filing finalizes Coinbase Custody and BNY Mellon as custodians but leaves management fee and expense details undisclosed.

According to the updated S-1 filing on Wednesday, the firm has confirmed the ticker MSBT on NYSE Arca. Further, the filing notes that the trust will acquire initial Bitcoin by issuing 50,000 shares, expected to generate around $1 million in proceeds.

Other than that, the filing did not disclose key information about the management fee or expense ratio.

Morgan Stanley has finalized Coinbase Custody and BNY Mellon as it moves forward with custody arrangements, while BNY Mellon will also serve as the cash custodian for the trust.

The trust will operate as a passive investment vehicle and does not provide direct exposure to Bitcoin ownership.

With the preliminary regulatory hurdles done, the product is expected to go live once the registration statement becomes effective and final SEC approval is granted.

Is Morgan Stanley going all in on crypto?

Morgan Stanley filed for its spot Bitcoin ETF earlier this year alongside separate filings for other crypto assets, namely Ethereum and Solana.

The decision to launch this product and step into the spot crypto market comes as spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. have witnessed record-breaking institutional inflows and have even surpassed the growth trajectory of Gold ETFs during their initial launch period.

Besides offering ETF products, the bank is also eyeing other Bitcoin-related product offerings, such as yield and lending services.

During a recent appearance at the Bitcoin for Corporations conference, digital assets strategy head Amy Oldenburg said it was a “natural part of the roadmap to continue to explore.”

The bank has also confirmed plans to offer retail trading for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana through its E*Trade app.

Frank Sinatra’s The World We Knew returns to the Jazz Albums and Traditional Jazz Albums charts, showing continued demand for his timeless music. Frank Sinatra performs on his TV special Frank Sinatra: A Man and his Music Bettmann Archive These days on the Billboard charts, Frank Sinatra’s music can always be found on the jazz-specific rankings. While the art he created when he was still working was pop at the time, and later classified as traditional pop, there is no such list for the latter format in America, and so his throwback projects and cuts appear on jazz lists instead.

Frank Sinatra’s The World We Knew Returns Sinatra’s The World We Knew is a top performer again, if only on the jazz lists. That set rebounds to No. 15 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart and comes in at No. 20 on the all-encompassing Jazz Albums ranking after not appearing on either roster just last frame. The World We Knew’s All-Time Highs The World We Knew returns close to its all-time peak on both of those rosters.

The set climbed all the way to No. 15 on the Jazz Albums tally and has now spent just under two months on the rosters. Frank Sinatra’s Album With Classic Hits Sinatra released The World We Knew in the summer of 1967. The title track, which on the album is actually known as “The World We Knew (Over and…
