Morgan Stanley sets 0.14% fee for proposed Ethereum and Solana ETFs

Morgan Stanley has revealed proposed fees for its planned spot Ethereum and Solana exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The move is part of the firm’s broader push into digital asset products. Both funds would charge a 0.14% annual unitary fee if approved by regulators. The amended filings for the Morgan Stanley Ethereum Trust and Morgan Stanley Solana Trust now include a 0.14% annual fee. This is a new addition, as earlier versions did not specify a final expense figure. The fee would cover administration, custody, transfer agency, trustees, marketing, legal work, audit services, and listing costs.

The charge would accrue daily and be paid in cash. Morgan Stanley Investment Management would cover most standard operating expenses from this fee. The Ethereum ETF would trade on NYSE Arca under the ticker MSSE, while the Solana ETF would use MSOL.

Both proposed ETFs would include staking as part of their structure. Investors would receive 95% of staking rewards. The filings remain under SEC review and require further updates and exchange approvals before trading can start. The proposed 0.14% fee places these ETFs among the lower-cost crypto products if approved. Morgan Stanley continues to expand its digital asset strategy across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Trading cannot begin until all regulatory and exchange processes are completed.
