The newly founded subsidiary Fidelity Digital Asset Services aims to make the trading of Bitcoin and other digital currencies more accessible to investors, Fidelity CEO Abigail P. Johnson said in a statement. This implies that the company offers hedge funds or so-called family offices corresponding services, as Heise Online reports.

The goal is to establish a long-term trading platform for cryptocurrencies, which institutional investors in particular should be able to trade with Bitcoin or Ether. Incidentally, one of the new services is to keep the assets invested in cryptocurrencies, ie the private keys, safe for investors.
