Institutional Bitcoin (BTC) Trading Will Soon Be Available On Fidelity Investments

According to a Bloomberg report, the US-based investment firm Fidelity, which transacts $7 trillion per year, announced that it would soon make institutional Bitcoin (BTC) trading available in the forthcoming weeks.

“The Boston-based firm, one of the largest asset managers in the world, created Fidelity Digital Assets in October in a bet that Wall Street’s nascent appetite for trading and safeguarding digital currencies will grow. It also puts Fidelity a step ahead of its top competitors that have mostly stayed on the sidelines so far. The firm said in October that it would offer over-the-counter trade execution and order routing for Bitcoin early this year,” Bloomberg report reads.

The information that Fidelity is planning for a Fidelity Digital Assets expansion was revealed to Bloomberg by an inside source that wanted to remain anonymous. The platform in question launched in fall 2018, and it has been offering cryptocurrency custody since March 2019.
