Key Points
- Fidelity just filed the 3rd amendment to their S-1 form for an Ethereum ETF.
- Analysts' predictions claim ETH ETFs could launch around July 2.
New reports from Bloomberg's analyst James Seyffart reveal that Fidelity just filed its third amendment to the S-1 form for an Ethereum ETF.
Eric Balchunas also shared the message via his X account, noting that there is no fee included yet. He said that Franklin Templeton is the only one with a fee, and Bitwise did not include one either.
Balchunas also said that everyone is likely waiting until the last minute and/or for BlackRock to disclose their info in order to see what they need to orbit around.
Earlier, Balchunas also posted that today, we will see a bunch of amended S-1 forms and then the ball is in the SEC's court to let issuers know about any final changes and effectiveness, in other words, the final approval.
He said that they are maintaining their prediction that July 2 could be the over/under date for ETH ETFs launch date.
When a follower asked Seyffart if there's any word on staking since the SEC closed their investigation into Consensys, his answer was that there's nothing like this so far.
Consensys announced a major win for Ethereum developers
On June 19, Consensys announced a major win for Ethereum developers, technology providers, and industry participants.
In a new post on X, the team at Consensys revealed that the Enforcement Division of the SEC has notified them that it is closing its investigation into Ethereum 2.0.
The same notes explain that this means the SEC will not bring charges alleging that sales of Ethereum are considered securities transactions.
The important decision comes following a letter that Consensys sent to the SEC on June 7, asking the regulator to confirm that the May ETH ETF approvals which were premised on ETH being a commodity mean that the regulator would close its Ethereum 2.0 investigation.
