On September 21, Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund rose 5.19% in regular trading, reaching $74.35 per share with turnover of approximately $88.32 million. The rally closely tracked Bitcoin's surge past the $85,000 level, marking an eight-month high for the cryptocurrency.
The primary catalyst was a confluence of bullish developments. The SEC issued a five-year innovation exemption order permitting tokenized U.S. equities to trade via liquidity pools on public blockchains, igniting a broad crypto rally. This policy shift came on the heels of two major headwinds being absorbed: the failure of the CLARITY Act in the U.S. Senate and the Fed's first rate hike since 2023, raising the federal funds rate 25 basis points to 3.75%-4%. Markets interpreted the Fed's dot plot — projecting only one additional hike — as evidence that the tightening cycle would not escalate, triggering a classic risk-on response. Approximately $470 million in short positions were liquidated within 24 hours as Bitcoin rebounded from $76,000 to above $85,000. Crypto-linked equities rallied in tandem, with Strategy up over 8% and Coinbase up over 6%.
Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund seeks to track the performance of bitcoin as measured by the Fidelity Bitcoin Reference Rate, adjusted for the Trust's expenses and other liabilities.
