Morgan Stanley updated its Ethereum and Solana ETF filings with 0.14% fees and named three providers to support staking.
Ethereum and Solana News
Morgan Stanley filed amendments for its spot Ethereum and Solana exchange traded funds, marking progress on both applications following the bank's recent Bitcoin ETF launch. The amended S-1 registration statements were submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 18, 2026.
The filings mark the second round of amendments for both the Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) ETF applications, which were originally filed in January 2026.

Fees Set at 0.14% for Both Funds
The updated filings set sponsor fees at 0.14% for both funds. That rate would make them the lowest-cost options in the United States for ETH and SOL ETFs.
Grayscale's Mini Ethereum Trust currently holds the lowest sponsor fee among ETH ETFs at 0.15%. Among SOL ETFs, Franklin Templeton's SOEZ holds the lowest fee at 0.19%, according to data from SoSoValue.

Staking Providers Named in New Filings
The amendments named Figment Inc, Galaxy Blockchain Infrastructure LLC, and Coinbase Canada Inc as staking service providers for the funds. Morgan Stanley plans to stake a portion of the funds' holdings to generate additional returns for investors, with 5% of staking rewards paid to the providers and custodians involved.
The Ethereum fund is expected to trade under the ticker symbol MSSE, and the Solana fund under MSOL. The disclosure of additional amendments typically reflects active communication with the SEC and progress in the launch process.
