Fidelity: Ethereum trading now possible for institutional clients

A customer shared on Twitter an email from Fidelity Digital Assets announcing that Ethereum will be available for purchase this month. The company said that many investors are looking at ether from a new perspective, now that the “ fusionn” is complete. It probably refers to Merge, which marks Ethereum’s move to the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) model. The latter being more ecological.

The asset manager intends to meet the needs of its institutional clients. Fidelity will thus offer Ethereum trading and custody services. This service will be available from October 28.

Additionally, Fidelity pointed out in an earlier article that the bitcoin is not just a technology. For this asset manager, it is a superior form of money. This company is the subsidiary of the private investment management company Fidelity Investments.
