Arkham has identified the on-chain wallets behind Morgan Stanley’s newly launched spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETF, giving the public a live view of its holdings.
Arkham Flags MSBT Wallets
The Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust, ticker MSBT, began trading on NYSE Arca on Apr. 8.
Arkham’s research team said its analysts verified the addresses as a Morgan Stanley entity with a high degree of accuracy. The platform is currently the only public venue tracking MSBT holdings on-chain.
Because ETFs settle on a T+1 basis, wallet activity lags the issuer’s public inflow and outflow announcements by a day. Coinbase and BNY Mellon act as digital asset custodians, per the product listing on Morgan Stanley’s site.
On its first trading day, MSBT recorded about $34 million in volume. After five sessions, net assets reached $87 million.
