According to BBX data, today (April 13), the U.S. Senate resumed its full session after the Easter recess, and cryptocurrency concept stocks maintained wide fluctuations under the dual variables of policy expectations and geopolitical pressures. The core dynamics are as follows:SpaceX (not listed) according to on-chain data from Arkham Intelligence and a report from The Information on April 11, currently holds 8,285 BTC, with a market value of approximately $603 million, custodied on the Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: $COIN) institutional custody platform Coinbase Prime; for the fiscal year 2025, it is expected to record a net loss of nearly $5 billion due to acquisition expenses from its subsidiary xAI (compared to a profit of approximately $8 billion in the same period last year).

Analysts point out that the low fee rate of $MSBT, combined with Morgan Stanley's vast wealth management client network, poses a direct challenge to the existing funding landscape of IBIT, marking a shift in competition in the Bitcoin ETF market from "access competition" to "fee and distribution competition."Strategy, Inc. (NASDAQ: $MSTR) disclosed by Bloomberg on April 6, reported a paper loss of approximately $14.5 billion in Bitcoin holdings for Q1 2026, marking the worst quarter for Bitcoin since 2018 (with a decline of over 20% during the quarter); nevertheless, as of April 5, the company still holds 766,970 BTC, with a total holding cost of approximately $58.02 billion (average price $75,644), and during this period, it continued to purchase an additional 4,871 BTC, with founder Michael Saylor having not sold any holdings to date.

Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated on the X platform that as the market focuses on the launch of the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin ETF MSBT, the Bitcoin After Dark ETF (NGHT) was also launched this Wednesday. The product had a mediocre performance on its first day of trading, but trading volume significantly increased on the second day, and its future performance remains to be seen.Historical research shows that "night returns" often outperform daytime returns, but for long-term ETF investors, holding products like MSBT can cover both day and night returns, so the impact of the difference is limited. However, if NGHT sees strong inflows in the future, it may gain market recognition; conversely, it could quickly become marginalized. The Morgan Stanley Bitcoin ETF, with its channel distribution advantage, is expected to achieve great success.

According to data from Farside Investors, Morgan Stanley officially launched the spot Bitcoin ETF (MSBT) on Wednesday, attracting $306,000 in inflows on its first trading day, becoming the first major commercial bank in the U.S. to introduce such a product. The management fee for MSBT is 0.14%, currently the lowest fee for a Bitcoin ETF on the market.Although the fund performed steadily on its first day, the overall net outflow for spot Bitcoin ETFs across the U.S. was $124.5 million on Wednesday, marking the second consecutive trading day of net outflows. Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart stated that this product may serve as a lead generation tool aimed at attracting high-net-worth individuals in the cryptocurrency space to use its wealth management services.

Morgan Stanley's spot Bitcoin ETF (MSBT) saw active trading on its first day, with over 1.6 million shares traded and approximately $34 million in capital inflow.The fund tracks the CoinDesk Bitcoin reference price, with a fee rate of only 0.14%, the lowest among similar products, focusing on price advantages to enter market competition. In addition to the low fee rate, MSBT also relies on Morgan Stanley's vast wealth management channels, which are expected to attract traditional investors to allocate Bitcoin assets through the financial advisor system. However, the market is still dominated by leading products, such as BlackRock's IBIT, which has exceeded $53 billion in size. Industry insiders expect that MSBT may divert some existing funds in the short term, but its long-term performance will still depend on its ability to attract continuous capital inflow.
