The rivalry between investment banks over the introduction of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETF) in the United States has intensified. According to crypto enthusiast Andrew P. (AP Abacus), Morgan Stanley is striving to beat UBS in becoming the premier wirehouse to fully endorse the Bitcoin ETF. Internal notes from Morgan Stanley suggest that an announcement regarding Bitcoin ETFs may be imminent. Global banks are engaging in active discussions regarding the inclusion of Bitcoin ETFs, turning it into a competitive race. ETF expert Eric Balchunas highlighted that both Morgan Stanley and UBS have yet to add Bitcoin ETFs. Balchunas suggested that the two banks are engaged in a compliance game of chicken, waiting for one to make the first move. AP Abacus previously reported that UBS plans to introduce Bitcoin ETFs to its platform in the near future. Morgan Stanley's potential approval of Bitcoin ETFs has also been a subject of speculation recently. Both banks were contacted for comments, but no responses were received. This is an evolving narrative, and additional updates will be provided.
