According to Bloomberg , in the coming weeks, Fidelity Investments, a large American company that provides financial services, will launch a platform through which institutional customers will have access to Bitcoin trading.
Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of the American financial giant, which was launched in October 2018, in the next few weeks will open access to trade for cryptocurrency Bitcoin for institutional clients. Fidelity Digital Assets already offers a digital asset storage and OTC trading service.
Arlene Roberts, a spokeswoman for Fidelity Investments, drew attention to the fact that the company already provides services to a certain number of its customers. Over the next few weeks and months, the company will continue to provide access to new services, taking into account customer needs, the market situation, and other factors. Fidelity is primarily focused on providing services related to Bitcoin.
Recall that last week the results of a study from Fidelity were published, within which it was possible to determine how strong institutional clients show interest in BTC. Thus, 22% of the 400 institutional investors surveyed stated that they had already invested in BTC, about half of them are extremely interested in cryptocurrency and see great potential in it.
Tom Jessop, president of Fidelity Digital Assets, notes that more and more institutional investors are connecting to the crypto-space – some directly, some use the services of intermediaries. The impact of blockchain technologies on financial markets, according to Jessup, is becoming increasingly apparent.
