Fidelity Crypto Investment goes LIVE

There is a saying in Crypto and that is those who build in the winter profit in the summer so it's not entirely surprising to see many crypto projects building or launching. For some projects the market peaks and dips are less impactful on what you're offering and this month a new exchange or trading platform has launched to provide another way to invest in crypto.

Fidelity Investments a long standing multinational company established in 1946 is one of the largest firms with an whopping $US4.5 Trillion of managed funds. Their funds under administration ballooned in 2021 topping $US11 Trillion dollars and most recently they have made the decision to move into providing Digital Assets.

Limited Investment Opportunities

Fidelity Investment won't be offering exposure to all crypto currencies as yet and will only be offering investors market access to Bitcoin and Ethereum and the company has put this down the the fact that Bitcoin and Ethereum are the two largest marketcap digital assets and strong market backing.

This can be evidenced by data provided by coinmarketcap which indicates despite the broader crypto market dropping below $US1 Trillion these past few months, a large portion of the remaining funds are retained within Bitcoin and Ethereum markets.

Crypto culture joins multinationals

The interesting aspect of this company is that they are doing something a little different in comparison with other corporates and multinationals that have joined the sector to provide access to digital markets.

One thing that people in the sector are used to is access to projects Discord channels and Reddit discussion groups as these two alternative social media and chat forums have been instrumental in driving the crypto sub-culture.

Well Fidelity have launched their own Reddit and Discord to enable people already used to this form of communication to quickly switch across or bring new investors into the Crypto Sub-culture.

Minimum buy in

Here is where things really get kicking with the investment firm lowering minimum buy ins to as little as $1 worth of Ethereum and Bitcoin and the removal of trading fees only charging a maximum of 1% spread which will give it the upper hand amongst other platforms.

This decision to lower investment and reduce trading fees is an interesting position and one they have most likely put a lot of research and investigation into as if we look across how much money people are investing we're seeing a lot of micro transactions.

Although micro transactions aren't big money makers the volume being traded on a daily basis indicates that they are massive amounts of consolidated funds and if Fidelity can capture that part of the market than they will make some significant gains in trades.
