SEC Wants The Public Opinion on Fidelity’s Application

“Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act.”

The filing explains that the application proposes a rule change that will allow Fidelity to list and trade shares of the Fidelity Ethereum Fund.

It further declares that the objective of the Trust is to track the performance of ETH. However, it will take into account deductions, by subtracting the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities.

At the time of publication, Ethereum’s price stands at $2,047.
