Morbi pretium leo et nisl aliquam mollis. Quisque arcu lorem, ultricies quis pellentesque nec, ullamcorper eu odio.

Fidelity, a prominent asset management firm with over $4.5 trillion in assets under management, has formally submitted an application for the establishment of a Spot Ethereum Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF).

The decision is a response to the recent action taken by BlackRock, an asset management company, which submitted their application for an Ethereum Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) last week.

Fidelity Is 7th On The List

Fidelity Investments has recently positioned itself as the seventh asset management in the United States to pursue the aforementioned product.

Based on the SEC’s Form 19b-4 filing, the Fidelity Ethereum ETF is called the “Fidelity Ethereum Fund” and is designed to track the performance of Ethereum. If approved, the ETF will trade in accordance with the BZX Rule, the company disclosed.

Each share shall reflect a portion of the undivided beneficial interest in the net assets of the Fidelity ETH Fund, the Registration Statement shows. ETH held by the New York Department of Financial Services on behalf of the Fidelity Ethereum Fund will make up the Trust’s assets.

The Importance Of Spot ETFs

Spot ETFs play a pivotal role in significantly expanding the reach of cryptocurrencies to the average investor, aligning with the increasingly emphasized goal of asset managers such as BlackRock, Grayscale, and other industry players.

Despite the concerted efforts of regulatory bodies like the SEC to counteract this trend, the push for democratizing access to crypto investments has remained steadfast.

ETH market cap currently at $232 billion on the weekly chart: TradingView.com

At the forefront of the crypto market, Bitcoin and Ethereum stand as two of the most prominent digital assets, commanding substantial trade volumes and market values.

Drawing a parallel with Bitcoin, Ethereum stands poised for a potentially significant surge in value within the next 24 hours, driven by the announcement of Fidelity’s application, marking a development that could significantly impact the cryptocurrency landscape.

ETH Up 6.2% In The Weekly Chart

At the time of writing, ETH was trading at $$1,930, up 2.3% in the last 24 hours, and sustaining a decent 6.2% increase in the last seven days, data from Coingecko shows.

Meanwhile, citing a section of the court ruling in the legal battle between Grayscale and the SEC, Fidelity Investments is optimistic that it will receive permission.

The court argued that the SEC lacked a reasonable justification for denying Grayscale’s request to convert its well-known Bitcoin Trust into a full-fledged Bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund (ETF), particularly in light of the prior approval of BTC-linked futures.

As a result, the court ordered a review of the SEC’s ruling, and current information suggests that the SEC and Grayscale are still in talks over the suggested product.

Emerging Prominence Of Crypto Assets

Fidelity has expressed its admiration for Ethereum in a vocal manner. In a recent discussion, Chris Kuiper, the Director of Research at the firm, examined the emerging prominence of digital assets and projected their potential for further expansion in the foreseeable future.

The company’s hope that ETH would be used for large-scale transactions in the future is further expressed in Fidelity’s Spot Ethereum ETF application.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.

Read more

Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).

Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley!

So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).

Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.

Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.

Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.

Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.

So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
