Morgan Stanley Adds Ethereum and Solana ETPs to Growing Crypto Portfolio

The newly introduced exchange-traded products provide exposure to Ethereum and Solana, include staking yield opportunities, and complement the institution's Bitcoin fund that debuted earlier in 2025.

Morgan Stanley Investment Management has introduced exchange-traded products for Ethereum and Solana, broadening its cryptocurrency fund offerings beyond its existing Bitcoin product.

The newly unveiled Morgan Stanley Ethereum Trust (NYSE Arca: MSSE) alongside the Morgan Stanley Solana Trust (NYSE Arca: MSOL) are designed to mirror the price movements of Ether (ETH) and Solana (SOL), respectively, utilizing the CoinDesk Ether Benchmark 4PM NY Settlement Rate and CoinDesk Solana Benchmark 4PM NY Settlement Rate as reference points.

Each product features a 0.14% expense ratio and plans to stake some of the assets under custody, with the staking yields being distributed directly to fund investors. According to Morgan Stanley, the firm will not keep any of the staking rewards generated by either investment vehicle.

This product introduction comes on the heels of Morgan Stanley's deployment of spot cryptocurrency trading capabilities on its E*TRADE platform earlier this month, providing qualified clients with the ability to purchase, sell and store Bitcoin, Ether and Solana via a collaboration with cryptocurrency infrastructure provider Zero Hash.

Back in April, Morgan Stanley introduced the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust (NYSE Arca: MSBT), establishing itself as the first major US commercial bank to provide a spot Bitcoin ETF. According to the company, the fund held more than $381 million in assets under management as of July 16.
