Morgan Stanley filed an amended registration statement for a spot Ethereum ETF on June 19, 2026. The proposed fund will trade under the ticker MSSE.
The bank set a sponsor fee of 0.14% for the product. This rate undercuts the 0.15% fee charged by Grayscale’s Mini Ethereum Trust.
The filing intensifies an ongoing fee war among cryptocurrency ETF issuers. Spot Ethereum ETFs recorded approximately $12.77 million in net outflows on June 18, 2026.
Morgan Stanley intends to leverage its wealth-management network to attract assets through this cost-competitive strategy.
