\nBlackRock Posts Massive Bitcoin ETF Inflows as Morgan Stanley Debuts MSBT With Strong Early Demand<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs surged Thursday, led by BlackRock\u2019s iShares Bitcoin Trust, which pulled in $269.3 million, its strongest single-day performance in five weeks. The move followed a period of volatility tied to geopolitical tensions<\/a> and reversed two straight days of net outflows across the sector.<\/p>\n

In total, the 12 U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded<\/a> $358.1 million in net inflows, signaling renewed investor demand as bitcoin trades below its recent highs, thanks to Farside <\/em>data.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fidelity Investments\u2019 FBTC posted the second-largest inflow at $53.3 million. Morgan Stanley\u2019s newly launched Bitcoin Trust (MSBT<\/a>) brought in $14.9 million on its second day of trading, marking what the bank described as its strongest ETF debut. The firm\u2019s digital asset leadership indicated the product represents an early step in a broader pipeline of offerings.<\/p>\n

Other issuers also participated in the rebound. Bitwise Asset Management and ARK Invest\u2019s 21Shares fund added $11.7 million and $4.8 million, while Franklin Templeton and VanEck each saw about $2 million in inflows.<\/p>\n

Year to date, BlackRock\u2019s IBIT has attracted $1.5 billion in net inflows, even as bitcoin has declined from a 2026 peak near $97,000 to around $72,100. Company executives have said the fund\u2019s investor base skews toward long-term holders.<\/p>\n

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs ended 2025 with $56.59 billion in cumulative net inflows and now stand at $56.51 billion, leaving the category about $80 million below breakeven for 2026.<\/p>\n

Morgan Stanley launches a bitcoin ETF<\/h2>\n

Earlier this week, Morgan Stanley entered the spot bitcoin ETF market<\/a> with the launch of its Bitcoin Trust (MSBT), posting strong early demand and intensifying competition across the sector.<\/p>\n

The fund recorded about $34 million in first-day trading volume and $30.6 million in net inflows, which Morgan Stanley\u2019s Amy Oldenburg said marked the \u201cbest first day of trading for any of our ETFs.\u201d MSBT carries a 14 basis point fee, undercutting several rival products and adding pressure to an already competitive fee environment.<\/p>\n

Despite the debut, U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs saw $94 million in net outflows. Fidelity\u2019s FBTC and Ark & 21Shares\u2019 ARKB led redemptions, while Grayscale\u2019s GBTC also posted losses. BlackRock\u2019s IBIT bucked the trend with $40.4 million in inflows.<\/p>\n

The flows highlight ongoing rotation among institutional investors amid bitcoin price volatility, with traders taking profits after the asset climbed back above $70,000.<\/p>\n

Morgan Stanley\u2019s entry is seen as a structural shift, leveraging its $6 trillion wealth management network and thousands of financial advisors to distribute crypto exposure more broadly. Analysts say fee compression and distribution advantages will likely shape the next phase of competition.<\/p>\n

Inflows into MSBT will be watched to see if traditional banks can challenge ETF leaders.<\/p>\n
