The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has extended its review of Fidelity‘s filing to incorporate staking functionality into a physically-backed Ethereum ETF, moving the statutory decision deadline to November 13th. The extension, announced on September 10th, lengthens the SEC’s examination window for the revised prospectus and related amendments.
The additional review period allows for further regulatory scrutiny and potential public comment under the SEC’s standard review process. Market participants and institutional investors should update internal timelines to reflect the new review period and monitor formal communications from the SEC and Fidelity for subsequent procedural developments.
