Asset manager Fidelity files for a bitcoin ETF
Fidelity Investments, one of the largest asset managers in the world with $4.9 trillion in assets under management (AUM), has filed for a bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
According to an S-1 filing, the Wise Origin Bitcoin Trust adds to the growing list of bitcoin ETFs vying to be launched in the United States.
The Wise Origin Bitcoin Trust
A Boston-based firm called FD Funds Management LLC has been named as the sponsor of the fund while Fidelity Service Company Inc. will serve as the administrator.It didn’t come as a major surprise when Fidelity Digital Assets, the crypto division of the asset manager was named as the custodian.
If approved, Fidelity plans to use in-house tools to track bitcoin’s performance.
“The Trust’s investment objective is to seek to track the performance of bitcoin, as measured by the performance of the Fidelity Bitcoin Index PR (the “Index”), adjusted for the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities.”The filing further added that the Trust will provide direct exposure to bitcoin.
The asset manager launched the Wise Origin Bitcoin Index Fund l in August last year and its recent filing could be a major catalyst for a bitcoin ETF approval in the U.S.
Is a bitcoin ETF knocking on the door
The past few weeks have seen a lot of activities around bitcoin ETFs, increasing the pressure on the U.S. to approve its own.The securities regulator acknowledged the receipt of an application of a bitcoin ETF filed by VanEck. VanEck has previously filed for several bitcoin ETFs but they all came to nothing.
Jack van Eck, the CEO of VanEck said the current application is based on a “couple of rays of hope.”
And part of the hope could hinge on numerous bitcoin ETFs lining up on the SEC’s door.
Cryptonary reported hardly two weeks ago that WisdomTree joined the race to have its bitcoin ETF approved by the securities regulator. Other entries in the race include NYDIG Asset Management, Valkyrie Digital Assets, and joint application by Anthony Scaramucci’s Skybridge Capital and First Advisors.
While all this adds up in favor of a bitcoin ETF approval, developments outside the U.S. may push regulators to take action.
External hands may swing the pendulum
A few bitcoin ETFs have been approved in the Americas. Purpose Investments launched the first Bitcoin ETF in Canada. The bitcoin exchange-traded fund accumulated more than 12,000 bitcoins worth nearly $700 million within a month.Brazil approved its first bitcoin ETF a few days ago.
While the U.S. weighs in on the merits of the bitcoin ETF applications, it will be almost impossible to ignore what is happening beyond its borders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
