Fidelity files for spot Ethereum ETF

Fidelity Investment has filed for a spot ether ETF, following its spot bitcoin ETF application.

Asset management giant Fidelity Investment has filed for a spot ether ETF, in the footsteps of its spot bitcoin ETF application.

“To this point, approval of a Spot ETH ETP would represent a major win for the protection of U.S. investors in the crypto asset space,” the filing states, claiming that investors are facing significant risk without such products as they seek alternative, riskier ways to get exposure.

The filing noted the recent Grayscale court ruling where the court said the SEC had failed to find a coherent reason why it should reject spot crypto ETFs when it had allowed futures-based products.
