El debut del ETF de Bitcoin de 116 millones de dólares de Morgan Stanley es pequeño comparado con 1,9 billones de dólares, y es por eso que Wall Street lo notará

Goldman Sachs filed for its first Bitcoin ETF product on Apr. 14 , six days after MSBT launched. The timing reinforces the sense that the reputational barrier to bank-branded Bitcoin products is contracting fast. Morgan Stanley's own launch statement frames MSBT as part of a firmwide digital asset push spanning custody, trading, and product development. The fund is both a product decision and a
