Morgan Stanley's Bitcoin ETF Set to Launch on April 8: Bloomberg

Morgan Stanley's much-anticipated spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund is expected to begin trading on Wednesday, April 8, on NYSE Arca. Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas confirmed the launch date in an X post today, citing the NYSE’s listing notice.

Bloomberg's Isabelle Lee had signaled during a Monday broadcast that the launch was imminent, stating it would be “probably this week.“

The fund will enter the market as the lowest-cost spot Bitcoin ETF in the U.S. Per Morgan Stanley's most recent S-1 amendment filed with the SEC, the annual expense ratio is just 0.14%, undercutting Grayscale's Bitcoin Mini Trust, which is currently the lowest-fee option at 0.15%, and sitting well below BlackRock's IBIT, which charges 0.25%.
