Morgan Stanley's MSBT ETF resumed Bitcoin purchases with an acquisition of 28.65 BTC valued at $2.33M from Coinbase Prime, marking a return to buying activity after a nine-day pause. The transaction signals renewed accumulation by the fund following a period of inactivity, indicating potential shifts in the fund's positioning or strategy during that interval.
