Morgan Stanley files for Ethereum and Solana ETFs with low fees and staking rewards

Morgan Stanley has revealed details of its planned spot Ethereum and Solana exchange-traded funds. The filings outline fees, custodians, and staking providers for the new products. Both ETFs remain under regulatory review with no confirmed launch date yet. The proposed Ethereum and Solana ETFs would each carry a 0.14% annual unitary fee. Morgan Stanley Investment Management would cover most operating expenses from this fee. Investors would receive 95% of staking rewards generated by the underlying ETH and SOL holdings.

For the Ethereum ETF, BNY Mellon and Coinbase Custody are named as custodians. BNY Mellon would also act as cash custodian, administrator, and transfer agent. Figment, Galaxy Blockchain Infrastructure, and Coinbase Canada are listed as staking providers. The filing specifies NYSE Arca as the exchange, with the ticker MSSE.

The Solana product, the Morgan Stanley Solana Trust, is also expected to trade on NYSE Arca under the ticker MSOL. Both filings are part of the ongoing review process by the SEC and require exchange approval before launch. The disclosures confirm Morgan Stanley’s broader push into digital asset products, covering Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. The proposed structure ensures most staking rewards return to investors. Final approval and launch dates depend on regulatory and exchange decisions.
