Morgan Stanley Bitcoin ETF Surpasses WisdomTree in Net Inflows in Just 6 Days

Morgan Stanley's spot Bitcoin ETF (MSBT) has surpassed the cumulative net inflows of WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund (WBTC) since its launch in January 2024, achieving over $103 million in net inflows in just six trading days.

On Wednesday, MSBT saw a single-day inflow of $19.3 million, exceeding WBTC's $86 million. MSBT was listed on April 8 with a market minimum fee rate of 0.14%.

Bitnomial Launches Injective Futures in the US, Expected to Support Spot ETF Application Eligibility

According to Cointelegraph, Chicago-based crypto derivatives exchange Bitnomial has launched Injective monthly futures contracts, marking the first entry of Injective tokens into the regulated derivatives market in the US. The contracts are settled in INJ and expire monthly, allowing traders to gain price exposure without holding the underlying asset, with all cryptocurrencies or USD accepted as margin through Bitnomial.

Institutional clients can trade these futures immediately, while retail trading is expected to open in the coming weeks via Bitnomial's Botanical platform. Bitnomial also plans to introduce INJ perpetual futures and options.

Analysts suggest that the launch of Injective futures contracts will begin a six-month trading record, potentially supporting the application for spot ETFs. Previously, Canary Capital submitted a staking-based INJ ETF application to the SEC.

Views and Analysis on Crypto ETFs

Bloomberg Analyst: IBIT Has Risen Almost Daily for Three Weeks, Up About 19% Since US-Iran Conflict

Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas posted on the X platform that BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF IBIT has been rising almost daily for the past three weeks, with a recent increase of about 3.5%, totaling approximately 19% since the market sell-off triggered by the US-Iran conflict. As concerns about geopolitical shocks diminish, funding sentiment has clearly improved, driving Bitcoin-related ETFs to continue strengthening.

Analysis: Bitcoin ETF Holder's Cost is About $74,200, Current Market Structure Still Needs Optimization

Crypto quantitative analyst @AxelAdlerJr stated that Bitcoin recently reached the average entry cost of $74,200 for US Bitcoin ETF holders. If Bitcoin can maintain above this level, ETF holders will shift from losses to breakeven (neutral); if it falls below, it indicates that the market structure remains weak, and pressure continues.

On the other hand, the cost basis for short-term holders (STH) is about $83,734, which is currently the main resistance level in the market. Analysts believe that only when the cost of Bitcoin ETF holders further narrows the gap with the STH cost basis can we see a more significant improvement in the Bitcoin market structure.
