Morgan Stanley launched two new crypto exchange-traded products on Tuesday, expanding its digital asset lineup beyond bitcoin.
Morgan Stanley Investment Management introduced the Morgan Stanley Ethereum Trust and the Morgan Stanley Solana Trust on NYSE Arca.
Both products carry a 0.14% expense ratio and aim to track ether and SOL prices. The launch adds staking capabilities to the firm’s growing ETP suite, which already includes a bitcoin trust.
Morgan Stanley Investment Management now offers exchange-traded products tied to three major cryptocurrencies.
The new Ethereum Trust trades under the ticker MSSE, while the Solana Trust uses MSOL. Both joined the earlier Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust, known as MSBT, which launched earlier in 2026.
MSBT was the first cryptocurrency ETP offered by a U.S. bank-affiliated asset manager. That product has attracted more than $381 million in assets under management through July 16, 2026. The bitcoin trust set the foundation for this week’s expansion into ether and SOL markets.
Ally Wallace, Global Head of ETFs for Morgan Stanley Investment Management, described the firm’s progress since 2023.
She said the company has “built a diversified suite of ETFs and ETPs” that now tops $14 billion in assets under management. Wallace called the new launches part of the product line’s natural evolution.
Each new trust carries the same 0.14% expense ratio as the Bitcoin product. This pricing structure reflects a broader strategy toward competitively priced digital asset offerings. The consistent fee across all three products simplifies comparison for investors weighing crypto exposure options.
Both MSSE and MSOL intend to stake a portion of their underlying holdings. Staking allows the trusts to generate additional yield from their ether and SOL positions. Morgan Stanley Investment Management will not retain any portion of the staking rewards earned.
This structure means reward proceeds flow back to the products themselves rather than the firm. Amy Oldenburg, Head of Digital Asset Strategy at Morgan Stanley, addressed the broader shift toward digital assets. She said client interest in these assets “continues to grow” across investment portfolios.
Oldenburg added that the firm remains focused on offering solutions while “adhering to Morgan Stanley’s standards for governance.”
Those standards guide how the company approaches infrastructure for its digital asset products. The firm aims to balance innovation with established institutional oversight practices.
MSSE will track ether performance using the CoinDesk Ether Benchmark 4PM NY Settlement Rate. MSOL will follow SOL performance through the CoinDesk Solana Benchmark 4PM NY Settlement Rate. These benchmarks provide standardized pricing references for both new exchange-traded products.
Morgan Stanley’s full ETF and ETP suite launched in 2023 and has expanded steadily since. The lineup now includes 22 products spanning Calvert ETFs, Parametric ETFs, and Eaton Vance fixed income ETFs. Three digital asset ETPs round out this diversified investment offering for clients.
