On Thursday, the first spot Bitcoin ETF established by a US bank, Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust ETF (MSBT), had modest inflows of $7.3 million. Farside reports that since the fund’s introduction on April 8, 2026, there has been zero days of outflows.

With a 557% increase in client assets retained since debut, MSBT has amassed 2,920 BTC, valued at around $232.6 million. In addition to its flagship product, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), the low-cost spot Bitcoin ETF known as the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (BTC) was the only other Bitcoin fund to get inflows that day.

The 21Shares Canton Network ETF (TCAN), the first US-listed ETF to provide direct exposure to Canton Coin, the native utility token of the Canton Network, debuted on the Nasdaq with the Bitcoin ETF today.

After momentarily regaining “Neutral” the day before, the crypto market downturn sent the Crypto Fear & Greed Index into “Fear” on Friday at 38. The indicator is still much higher than its April average of 17 due to the 11% increase in Bitcoin over the last 30 days.
