<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-sec-registration">SEC Registration</h2> 
The <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1852317/000119312524001377/d582196d8a12b.htm">filing</a>, which involves submitting SEC Form 8-A, is a critical step towards making the bitcoin fund available for public trading, pending regulatory approval. By registering with the SEC, Fidelity is demonstrating its commitment to operating its Bitcoin fund under the same regulatory standards as any publicly traded security. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-fidelity-s-seems-confident-in-its-proposal">Fidelity’s Seems Confident in Its Proposal</h2> 
The news comes at a time when crypto markets have seen over $600 million in liquidations yesterday, based on Matrixport’s forecast of the SEC rejecting all spot bitcoin ETF applications. However, Fidelity’s decision to file for SEC registration suggests that it is confident in the strength of its proposal and its ability to meet regulatory requirements.
