Morgan Stanley is positioning itself aggressively in the spot Bitcoin ETF landscape, proposing a 0.14% expense ratio in its latest filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The pricing places the bank just below the current lowest-cost offerings in the market and signals the potential start of a new round of fee competition among issuers.
