Prices for other digital assets are similarly depressed amidst what's being called a crypto winter. Yet Morgan Stanley is undeterred and has filed with U.S. securities regulators to launch a Bitcoin ETF that will trade under the ticker symbol "MSBT" in coming weeks. The Wall Street investment bank also plans to launch the new ETF with $1 million of seed investment, which is the money used to launch the fund. ## **A Long-Term View on Crypto** Morgan Stanley's determination to move ahead with its Bitcoin ETF highlights the growing push among banks to offer cryptocurrency products to their customers. In announcing the new fund, Morgan Stanley said it is taking a long-term view of crypto and providing access to digital assets for its customers. Like other crypto ETFs, Morgan Stanley's fund will provide investors with exposure to Bitcoin without requiring them to own it, tracking the digital asset's spot price on the open market. There are currently about a dozen spot Bitcoin ETFs that have a combined $56 billion of assets under management. ## **BTC's Three-Month Performance** The chart below shows that Bitcoin has struggled in recent months and declined 20.44% in the last 12 weeks as the selloff in cryptocurrencies that began in October 2025 continues. ### 相关股票 - [Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund - ETF (FBTC.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/FBTC.US.md) - [Valkyrie Bitcoin and Ether Strategy ETF (BTF.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/BTF.US.md) - [CoinShares Bitcoin ETF (BRRR.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/BRRR.US.md) - [Coinbase (COIN.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/COIN.US.md) - [Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/BITB.US.md) - [ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/BITO.US.md) - [iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/IBIT.US.md) - [Grayscale Bitcoin Trust BTC - ETF (GBTC.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/GBTC.US.md) - [Roundhill COIN WeeklyPay ETF (COIW.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/COIW.US.md) - [ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/ARKB.US.md) - [WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund (BTCW.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/BTCW.US.md) - [Franklin Bitcoin ETF (EZBC.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/EZBC.US.md) - [Amplify Transform Data Sharing ETF (BLOK.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/BLOK.US.md) - [Morgan Stanley (MS.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/MS.US.md) - [T-REX 2X Long MSTR Daily Target ETF (MSTU.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/MSTU.US.md) - [Leverage Shares 2X Long COIN Daily ETF (COIG.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/COIG.US.md) - [VanEck Bitcoin ETF (HODL.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/HODL.US.md) - [BTC/HKD (BTCHKD.VAHK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/BTCHKD.VAHK.md) - [BTC/USD (BTCUSD.VAHK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/BTCUSD.VAHK.md) ## 相关资讯与研究 - [08:03 ETCensys Raises $70 Million in Strategic Funding to Expand Its Internet Intelligence Platform](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281182734.md) - [Franklin Templeton acquires digital assets investment firm in active crypto management push](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281401500.md) - [LIVE MARKETS-S&P 500 close to ending - Morgan Stanley](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280987779.md) - [Metaplanet Corrects Q1 Bitcoin Revenue Figure to JPY 2.969 Billion](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281489639.md) - [Over 20 Crypto Projects Shut Down in Q1 2026](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281686693.md)
