Morgan Stanley Sets Bitcoin ETF Fee at Ultra-Low 0.14%

admin

Investment bank Morgan Stanley is seeking to launch its spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund at a 0.14% fee, which would make it the cheapest in the US market and potentially force rivals to cut fees to stay competitive. The 0.14% fee, proposed in Morgan Stanley’s latest S-1 registration statement on Friday, would be one basis point below the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (BTC), currently the cheapest in the US market, and 11 basis points below the BlackRock-issued iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT). “Big move here. They are not messing around,”…

XRP Risks 50% Crash as Goldman Sachs ETF Exposure Fails to Lift Price

XRP maintains its bear pennant breakdown setup targeting $0.72. Goldman Sachs discloses $152 million exposure to XRP ETFs Goldman…

Grayscale eyes Hyperliquid with new HYPE ETF filing

Grayscale has filed an S-1 registration statement for a HYPE ETF, a proposed product that would hold Hyperliquid’s native token and list on Nasdaq under the symbol GHYP. The filing shows the trust is designed to track the value of HYPE held by the vehicle, less expenses, and notes that the product may eventually include staking rewards if certain conditions are met, though staking is not currently active for the trust.

Bitcoin eyes eight straight green days as ETF inflows fuel the rally

admin

Bitcoin just posted its best price since early February, touching $74.5K as a sustained wave of institutional buying through spot ETFs continues to power the rally. The asset is now eyeing eight consecutive green daily candles — a streak that hasn’t happened in months. Here’s the thing: while the price action screams confidence, the broader sentiment landscape is whispering something else entirely. The Fear and Greed Index sits at 23, deep in “Extreme Fear” territory. That’s up from a brutal 8 last week, but still the kind of reading you’d…

admin

BlackRock’s digital assets chief Robert Mitchnick said that more than 90% of Bitcoin ETF investors, including retail, financial advisors, and institutions, have followed a steady accumulation strategy. Speaking to CNBC today, Mitchnick said retail investors “are some of the most long-term focused” and have tended to “buy the dip” when markets decline, while hedge funds account for a smaller share of more tactical trading activity. “The only part of the demand base where we do see some tendency towards short-termism is the roughly 10 or so percent that is actually…
