Odaily reported on July 14 that Morgan Stanley has updated the S-1 registration statements for its proposed spot Ethereum and Solana ETFs, designating Coinbase to handle custody and assist with staking. BNY Mellon will serve as the joint custodian for both trusts.
The Ethereum trust plans to stake between 50% and 80% of its ETH under normal conditions, while the Solana trust may stake up to 100% of its SOL, retaining a portion of liquidity for redemptions and fees. The staking service provider and custodian will share 5% of the rewards, with the remaining 95% belonging to each trust.
According to the filings, the annual sponsor fee for both funds is 0.14%. The Ethereum product is expected to trade under the ticker MSSE, while the Solana fund will be listed on NYSE Arca under MSOL. The relevant applications are still pending approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
