The firm submitted its amendment late Monday.\n<\/p>\n

\n

Financial services giant, Fidelity, has amended its spot Ethereum ETF<\/a> application to include the option for investors to stake their ETH, according to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).<\/p>\n

The SEC now has up to 90 days to respond to the amendment. The official deadline for BlackRock and Fidelity\u2019s applications is set for May 23.<\/p>\n

The news sparked a small spike in the price of Lido Finance\u2019s LDO, the native token to the largest staking protocol in the Ethereum ecosystem. It jumped 2.7% but quickly gave up those gains.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fidelity\u2019s move to include staking in their ETF application underscores the asset manager\u2019s willingness to expose its investors to all aspects of the digital asset ecosystem; alongside the importance of staking<\/a> as an overall activity in the industry.<\/p>\n

Staking refers to investors locking up a certain amount of tokens and receiving an interest for doing so. Ethereum\u2019s staking sector commands $48 billion, with Lido Finance<\/a> accounting for 70% of the market.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s news has had no effect on Ethereum\u2019s price, however, which stands at $3,531, a 2.7% drop on the day. It has lost 12% of its value on the week, thanks to traders taking profit since last week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
