Morgan Stanley Investment Management announced the launch of Morgan Stanley Ethereum Trust (NYSE Arca: MSSE) and Morgan Stanley Solana Trust (NYSE Arca: MSOL), two new exchange-traded products (ETPs) that seek to track the performance of ether and SOL, respectively, the native digital assets of the Ethereum and Solana blockchain networks.

The launches of MSSE and MSOL reflect the growth of MSIM’s ETP suite and the firm’s commitment to developing investment solutions that meet investor demand. MSSE and MSOL follow the launch of Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust (NYSE Arca: MSBT) earlier this year, the first cryptocurrency ETP offered by a U.S. bank-affiliated asset manager, which holds more than $381 million in assets under management through July 16, 2026.

“Since introducing our first ETFs in 2023, we’ve built a diversified suite of ETFs and ETPs that now exceed $14 billion in assets under management,” said Ally Wallace, Global Head of ETFs for Morgan Stanley Investment Management. “The addition of MSSE and MSOL reflects the natural evolution of our product suite, which seeks to provide simplified access to digital assets through the ETP wrapper.”

With the launch of MSSE and MSOL, MSIM now offers ETPs linked to bitcoin, ether, and SOL, three of the largest digital assets by market capitalization. Each ETP has an expense ratio of 0.14%, underscoring a commitment to building a comprehensive, competitively-priced digital asset product suite as part of a rapidly growing ETP product suite. Additionally, both ETPs intend to stake a portion of their respective ether or SOL holdings to earn staking rewards. MSIM will not retain any portion of the rewards earned by either ETP for itself.

“Digital assets are becoming an increasingly important component of diversified investment portfolios,” said Amy Oldenburg, Head of Digital Asset Strategy at Morgan Stanley. “As client interest in digital assets continues to grow, we’re focused on providing a range of digital asset solutions that allow investors to diversify their portfolios across traditional and decentralized asset classes while also adhering to Morgan Stanley’s standards for governance, infrastructure and risk management.”

MSSE will seek to track the performance of ether as measured by the CoinDesk Ether Benchmark 4PM NY Settlement Rate. MSOL will seek to track the performance of SOL as measured by the CoinDesk Solana Benchmark 4PM NY Settlement Rate.

Launched in 2023, MSIM’s full suite of ETF and ETP products has grown to more than $14 billion in assets under management across 22 products, including five Calvert ETFs, three Parametric ETFs, 11 Eaton Vance fixed income ETFs and three digital asset ETPs.
