The U.S. spot Ethereum exchange-traded fund of Fidelity Investment has been added to the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation list of ETFs. The Fidelity Ethereum FD Beneficial INT fund can be identified under the number FETH. DTCC classified the ETF as a domestic fund, and in the create/redeem column of the FETH, the first letter “N” seemed to imply that the fund is not yet open for creation and redemption.
It has two lists of ETFs: The Active ETFs List that can be traded and The Pre-Trade Approval ETFs List that cannot be traded until after they have gotten the approval of all relevant authorities. This inclusion means that Fidelity’s spot ether ETF is still yet to be launched since it is waiting for clearances before trading.

Fidelity Submits Amended S-1 for ETF
Last week, eight 19b-4 forms for spot ether ETFs from BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale, Bitwise, VanEck, Ark Invest, Invesco Galaxy, and Franklin Templeton. This preliminary approval is still a big boost to the created firms. However, they still require their S-1 registration statements to receive approval from the regulator for any funds to be formed.

In the recent week, Fidelity’s amended S-1 form has been submitted, which can be taken as a significant step forward in regulation. Furthermore, the asset manager BlackRock, which saw its bitcoin spot ETF become the largest, disclosed its amendment S-1 on Wednesday. As for the three firms’ ETFs, namely Fidelity and others listed on DTCC, the increasing popularity of the crypto goods could be deemed invigorating.
One can claim that the change made by Fidelity regarding its spot ether ETF inclusion in the list of the DTCС under the symbol FETH is a significant event in the ETF industry. The requirements were initially obtained, the progression of the regulation was established, and the industry’s growth appeared to be in a state of further development. Such inclusion means that the ETFs are broader in acceptance and can expand more into cryptocurrency investments.
