Trading volume exceeded 1.6 million shares. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas described the MSBT debut as one of the strongest launches among cryptocurrency spot ETFs. According to him, the Morgan Stanley fund ranked in the top 1% of ETFs by first-day performance.

Cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) once again faced outflows after a confident start to the week, which was triggered by a sharp reversal in Bitcoin’s price. $XRP stood out with gains, while Ether and Solana once again came under selling pressure.

Investor interest in spot ETFs in the cryptocurrency market continues to grow. According to the latest data, on April 6, spot ETFs for Bitcoin recorded a net inflow of $471 million. These data were provided by the market analytics platform SoSoValue.

Despite sharp volatility, Bitcoin ETFs posted modest weekly gains, while Ether ETFs continued to record outflows. Solana and XRP also declined during the shortened trading week.

The price of Solana ($SOL) reached $79.30 as of April 3. Over the past 24 hours, it increased by 0.6%. This occurred after the asset’s spot ETF recorded its first positive net inflow in six trading days.

Bitcoin is trading with fluctuations around $66,600 as the extended holiday breaks filter out potential buyers and give bears greater control over price dynamics. With the upcoming pause in futures and ETF flows on CME for Good Friday, the market is heading toward a liquidity shortage just as its most reliable support source is weakening.

Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continued their recovery, with inflows on the second day in a row. Activity in XRP and Solana ETFs remained absent, signaling a decline in short-term interest.

Interest from South Korean retail investors in crypto assets reached a notable level in the first quarter. Investors allocated around 1 trillion won into stocks and ETFs of U.S.-based crypto companies.

Bitcoin ETFs started the week with renewed inflows, while Ethereum ended its prolonged outflow streak. Meanwhile, Solana and XRP remained under pressure and posted notable declines.

As interest in $XRP-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continues to grow in the cryptocurrency market, the latest data on U.S.-traded XRP ETFs shows a notable picture. According to real-time tracking data, a total of 7 different XRP ETFs are currently trading, with total assets under management of approximately $1 billion.

Morgan Stanley plans to set the fee for its upcoming spot Bitcoin ETF at 14 basis points. This is slightly below the current low-cost options among similar products, according to an updated filing with the SEC. Such a move could trigger a new phase of competition for clients through fee reductions among existing funds.

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has officially listed the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust. This typically indicates that the product is in its final stage and preparing for launch.

Bitcoin ETFs have attracted around $2.5 billion in inflows, offsetting earlier 2026 outflows and nearing a full year-to-date recovery. Meanwhile, gold ETFs are experiencing capital outflows, reflecting a shift in investor preferences. Analysts note that Bitcoin and gold are not directly inverse assets, but BTC is showing stronger investor confidence despite a roughly 40% price decline.

U.S. exchanges affiliated with the New York Stock Exchange have amended their rules, removing key restrictions on options trading tied to spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs. This significantly changes how these derivatives are managed.

Between March 16 and March 20, 2026, the spot Bitcoin ETF sector recorded inflows of $95.18 million, according to SoSoValue data.

The spot exchange-traded fund market faced a renewed outflow of funds after a week of active growth. According to SoSoValue, investors began reducing positions in major digital assets, while the trend reversal coincided with increased volatility and mass liquidations in the futures market.
