In a move that underscores the growing interest in and acceptance of cryptocurrency, financial giants Fidelity and Franklin have reportedly held discussions with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) concerning the highly anticipated Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund (ETF).

As reported by BlockBeats on December 22, this announcement followed closely on the heels of similar meetings between BlackRock, Valkyrie, and ARK Invest/21Shares and the SEC regarding the same matter. These developments signify that the dialogue surrounding the adoption of Bitcoin spot ETFs is gaining serious momentum.
