Morgan Stanley files for an Ethereum Trust following Bitcoin and Solana ETF filings with the SEC. The Trust aims to track Ether’s price and offer a regulated exposure to the altcoin. The move signals a broader push by the bank into crypto investment products. Details like exchange listing and ticker symbol are still undisclosed.
The demand for Ethereum staking has surged recently, with BiMine leading the boom. Morgan Stanley’s Ethereum ETF proposal includes participation in ETH staking, allowing the fund to generate yields on its holdings. Grayscale also distributed staking rewards to investors of its Ether ETF.
Inflows into spot Ethereum ETFs have rebounded after a dip in December 2025. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) has attracted $114.7 million in inflows on Jan. 6, with net inflows of 61,359 ETH. Daily trading volume reached around $1 billion, continuing a positive trend for the fund.
Matt Hougan, Bitwise’s CIO, praised Morgan Stanley’s entry into crypto ETFs as “remarkable.” The proposed Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana products would be the third, fourth, and fifth ETFs under the Morgan Stanley name. Inflows into ETHA have surpassed $344 million over the first three trading days of 2026, with approximately 108,000 ETH added to the fund.
