Fidelity reportedly amends Ether ETF S-1 filing, removes ETH staking
Fidelity has filed an amended S-1 application with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its spot Ether exchange-traded fund (ETF).
The asset management giant has reportedly filed an updated S-1 application, stating that the ETF’s underlying Ether ( ETH ) tokens will not be staked. S-1 filings are the SEC’s required registration form for launching publicly traded securities products in the U.S.
The amended filing follows reports that the United States SEC has U-turned on spot Ether ETFs — possibly due to political pressure — with reports stating it has asked ETF issuers to update their 19b-4 filings.
The next deadline for the SEC is for VanEck’s Ether ETF proposal on May 23. While senior Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas has increased the odds of approval to 75% from just 25%, this only applies to the 19b-4 form.
However, Ether ETF issuers will also need to get their S-1 filings approved, according to Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart, who wrote in a May 20 X post :
“We also need S-1 approvals. It could be weeks to months before we see S-1 approvals and thus a live EtH ETF… That said, if we're correct and we see these theoretical approvals later this week. It *should* mean that S-1 approvals are a matter of 'When' not 'If'...”
