Fidelity Is Not New To The Digital Asset Sector

Fidelity may be stepping into the cryptocurrency sector in a more official manner now, but it has been involved in the sector since 2015 or earlier. Employees within the firm kept an eye on the digital asset segment for more than 6 years and have watched it secure. In addition to watching the evolution of the emerging asset class, teams within the firm have also been active by conducting activities such as mining bitcoin and ether. As such, it shows that the firm has been actively involved.

According to Quartz “one of Fidelity’s projects is mining bitcoin and ethereum, which Johnson said was started for educational purposes, but now turns a tidy profit. “We set up a small bitcoin and ethereum mining operation…that miraculously now is actually making a lot of money,” she said.

An Established Entity

The firm, formerly known as Fidelity Management and Research is an established name in the field of finance. The multinational services company based in Boston has become a prominent firm within the asset management sector. The corporation has more than $2 trillion in assets that they manage and allocate on a regular basis. The firm provides services to more than 30 million individual investors, facilitates trading for more than 27 million brokerage accounts and sees trades in excess of 600,000 on a regular basis.
