Morgan Stanley introduced two new exchange-traded products (ETPs) for Ethereum and Solana that deliver 100% of staking rewards to investors, charging a modest 0.14% fee. This move broadens the bank's regulated crypto offerings, giving investors a fresh way to earn passive income through staking without managing wallets or nodes.
Staking Benefits Simplified
The MSSE and MSOL ETPs allow investors to tap into staking yields directly within a familiar, regulated financial product. By passing all staking rewards through, Morgan Stanley aligns the ETPs with the actual returns of holding and staking ETH and SOL, minus a small fee. This approach removes the technical barriers typically involved with staking, such as maintaining online validators or trusting third-party staking services.
What This Means for Investors
- Access to regulated crypto products with staking rewards
- Transparent fees capped at 0.14%
- No need for self-custody or complex staking setups
Morgan Stanley's expansion into staking ETPs follows growing interest in regulated crypto investment products. It also highlights the bank's strategy to blend traditional finance structures with decentralized finance incentives. With staking rewards becoming a core driver of yield in crypto, offering these through regulated products could attract more conservative investors seeking steady income streams backed by blockchain assets.
