Terrific Start to the Race

The Bitcoin ETF market is expanding, and more and more asset managers are considering entering it. Former crypto naysayer Goldman Sachs filed with the SEC on Tuesday to start its own exchange-traded fund (ETF) connected to Bitcoin.

On April 8, Morgan Stanley’s spot Bitcoin ETF product debuted with a fee of 0.14%, which was one basis point lower than Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (BTC).

This spot Bitcoin ETF joins eleven others, including the market leader with $64.3 billion in net inflows, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), and the market leader runner-up, Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, with $10.9 billion. Bitwise, ARK 21Shares, and Grayscale are some of MSBT’s other Bitcoin ETF rivals.

With its current rate of growth, Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin ETF has the potential to outperform other Bitcoin ETFs such as Invesco Galaxy (BTCO), Valkyrie (BRRR), and Franklin (EZBC), which have received $245 million, $326 million, and $375 million in net inflows, respectively.

According to a Bloomberg report dated April 2, the average lifetime of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) decreased from 4.66 years in 2024 to about 3.5 years in 2025. Additionally, in the first half of 2026, more than 40 exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were liquidated, however, none of those ETFs included any prominent cryptocurrency ETFs.
