According to an email reportedly sent to clients, Fidelity Digital Assets is going to offer institutional Ethereum capabilities for its clients starting next week. Investors will be able to buy, sell and transfer ETH in the same way they make bitcoin investments today.?
Fidelity has been a long supporter of cryptocurrencies and blockchain. In 2014, Fidelity began mining bitcoin. By 2018, the firm launched its institutional custody and trading platform FidelityDigital Assets. It now offers investors Crypto Industry Digital Payments ETF and Metaverse ETF. Moreover, the asset manager has the Fidelity Stack virtual office in Decentraland, where you can enhance your investment knowledge in a fun, gamified experience.
