Bitcoin spot trading is issued by a major American bank, as Morgan Stanley's Bitcoin Trust (MSBT) was listed on the NYSE Arca with an annual management fee of 0.14%, the lowest in the market.

The product began trading on April 8, 2026, making Morgan Stanley the first Wall Street bank to launch its name on a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund. The Coinbase platform provides Bitcoin custody services through cold storage, while Bank of New York Mellon handles the safekeeping and management of cash, according to the product details.
The launch of the digital currency comes at a time when Bitcoin's price reached $71,489, up 5.07% in 24 hours. The fear and greed index stood at 17 (Extremely Fearful), which is completely at odds with the institutional confidence indicated by the launch.
