Wall Street giant Morgan Stanley Bitcoin exchange-traded fund now has close to $400 million in assets under management \u2014 despite only launching in April.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The NYSE Arca-listed fund, which is the first by a bank, got off to a roaring start when it debuted, bringing in over $33 million in fresh cash on its first day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, the fund has over $391 million in assets<\/a>, demonstrating the popularity of the product. Many ETFs never reach $400 million in assets at all, let alone in one quarter.<\/p>\n

Senior Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analyst Eric Balchunas revealed<\/a> Friday that the product has been one of the most successful funds launched this year so far.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This week alone, investors have thrown $15.7 million in new cash at the product, according to Farside Investors data.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Morgan Stanley has been making big crypto moves for years now. Back in 2021, it started offering wealthy clients exposure to Bitcoin via funds such as those by Galaxy Digital.<\/p>\n

And last year, the bank\u2019s CEO and Chairman, Ted Pick, said that the bank was working with regulators to see how they could offer crypto safely.<\/p>\n

Back in April, the bank\u2019s head of digital assets, Amy Oldenburg said<\/a> client education \u2014 not product design \u2014 is the central challenge facing Bitcoin adoption.<\/p>\n

Bitcoins ETF action\u00a0this week<\/h2>\n

After weeks of outflows and sloppy price action, American Bitcoin ETFs have taken in fresh cash over the past seven days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Farside Investors shows the products have received a total of $274 million in new investment so far this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The funds had been on a winning streak, receiving nearly $1 billion over seven days until Thursday, when every ETF experienced outflows \u2014 except for Morgan Stanley\u2019s product.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s price<\/a> was recently trading for $64,096, down over 1% over the past 24 hours. The cryptocurrency is virtually unmoved over a seven-day period.\u00a0<\/p>\n

European asset management firm CoinShares last week said that while investors are back at putting fresh cash in Bitcoin ETFs, other factors may hold digital asset markets from going higher.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see no significant upside potential from here,\u201d James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, wrote.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
