SOURCE EVIDENCE

"Despite the lower costs, Morgan Stanley still has a substantial gap to close against funds that have spent months or years accumulating assets and liquidity. BlackRock's original ETHA product has drawn about $11.4 billion, while its newer staking-enabled ETHB has already attracted roughly $529 million."
