AI Analysis

Factual items: Morgan Stanley filed for a Solana ETF that will use third‑party custodians and engage in staking to earn rewards expected to accrete to NAV; Morgan Stanley also filed for a Bitcoin ETF alongside issuers such as BlackRock. Staking-to-NAV and the addition of institutional ETF filings are positive signals for SOL and BTC, but the news describes filings (planned products) rather than launched or listed funds, so the short-term market impact is moderate.
