Fidelity has submitted its spot Bitcoin ETF securities registration application to the SEC

ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart on his social media, Fidelity has submitted its securities registration application for a spot Bitcoin ETF to the SEC.

He explained that this is just a securities registration that needs to be completed before the ETF launches; it does not mean that the ETF has been approved or anything else. To be listed, the ETF still requires 19b-4 approval and needs a valid/approved/completed S-1 filing. The 19b-4 has not been completed yet, and the S-1 is still in the preliminary stage, with progress expected next week.
