Morgan Stanley Spot Bitcoin ETF Filing 2026: Wall Street Giant Enters the Fray
Morgan Stanley filed for a spot Bitcoin ETF on Jan 6, 2026. Institutional demand is surging with $1.2 billion in inflows over the first two days of the year.
The skeptics are now the buyers. Morgan Stanley has officially joined the spot Bitcoin ETF race, signaling a massive shift in institutional sentiment as 2026 kicks off with record-breaking capital inflows. It's no longer just about offering access; it's about direct ownership in the digital gold rush.
Details of the Morgan Stanley Spot Bitcoin ETF Filing 2026
According to the Form S-1 submitted on January 6, 2026, the investment powerhouse is seeking approval for the 'Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust.' Unlike funds that rely on derivatives, this ETF will hold Bitcoin directly. If the SEC gives the green light, the shares will trade on a national securities exchange, allowing retail and institutional investors to trade BTC through their standard brokerage accounts.
Institutional Bid Back with a Vengeance
The filing comes amid a surge in market activity. On Monday alone, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $697.2 million in net inflows, the largest single-day jump since last October. In total, over $1.2 billion has flooded into these products during the first two trading days of 2026. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $93,823.19, testing key resistance levels as institutional confidence hits a multi-year high.
