According to BlockBeats, on August 15, Cynthia Lo Bessette, head of Fidelity Digital Asset Management, said in an interview with The Block that the company has been thinking about its product roadmap, which mainly depends on the needs of the customer base and how to evaluate the market's support for this new product. There are currently no clear plans for spot ETFs other than Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Lo Bessette added that while the U.S. SEC has not yet approved an ETF that can pledge ETH, this may change in the future because staking is "an important part of the Ethereum ecosystem and an important part of Ethereum investment opportunities." He believes that it is more a matter of time rather than a question of whether it will happen. The Fidelity team has had "constructive conversations" with SEC staff to discuss the possibility of bringing a pledged ETH ETF to market.
