Morgan Stanley has proposed a 0.14% sponsor fee for its planned Ethereum and Solana ETFs, according to updated filings submitted to the SEC on June 18. The fee would undercut competing products, including Grayscale’s Ethereum ETF fee of 0.15% and Franklin Templeton’s Solana ETF fee of 0.19%. The proposal matters because lower fees could attract more investor capital and increase competition in the crypto ETF market. Morgan Stanley also plans to stake 50%–80% of fund assets and distribute most staking rewards to shareholders, pending SEC approval.
