55% Probability of Bitcoin spot ETF AUM exceeding $180B by Dec 31, 2026

Morgan Stanley's MSBT (Spot Bitcoin Mini Trust) launches on NYSE Arca in April 2026 with a 0.14% expense ratio. That's 6 basis points lower than iShares (IBIT) and 16 bp cheaper than Grayscale's Mini (BTC). For a $50B institutional investor, that's $300K/year in fee savings on every billion deployed. Fee compression always drives adoption in asset management. Always.
