Morgan Stanley Ethereum Trust (NYSE Arca: MSSE) and Morgan Stanley Solana Trust (NYSE Arca: MSOL) began trading on NYSE Arca with staking integrated from launch, using Figment as one of their staking providers. According to Morgan Stanley Investment Management, both spot Ether and SOL ETPs are designed to pass through an anticipated 95% of staking rewards to shareholders.
MSSE generally intends to stake 50% to 80% of its ETH holdings and up to 100% of its SOL holdings, subject to change. The products aim to give institutional investors Ether and Solana price exposure plus staking participation via exchange‑listed vehicles that can be held in standard brokerage accounts, without requiring them to manage validators or onchain reward accounting directly.
Morgan Stanley Investment Management (NYSE: MS) launched two new digital asset exchange-traded products, Morgan Stanley Ethereum Trust (NYSE Arca: MSSE) and Morgan Stanley Solana Trust (NYSE Arca: MSOL), which seek to track ether and SOL via CoinDesk benchmark settlement rates. Both ETPs carry a 0.14% expense ratio and intend to stake a portion of their holdings, with Morgan Stanley Investment Management retaining none of the staking rewards. The new products expand a digital asset lineup that includes Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust (NYSE Arca: MSBT), which holds more than $381 million in assets under management through July 16, 2026. According to Morgan Stanley Investment Management, its ETF and ETP platform, launched in 2023, has grown to over $14 billion in assets across 22 products, while the broader firm reports $2 trillion in assets under management or supervision as of June 30, 2026.
