Well, if this actually makes it easier for people to invest on crypto currency then it is well and good. I just hope that this move helps crypto currency to be more stable so that we can actually see adoption of the coins and actually use it for everyday living. I also really hope that we see more growth in the market now more than ever.

This news shows that the US allows many companies to use investor assets to be used in trading and investing in crypto.
like the companies that have won the investment funds in buying and selling can be in the form of gold or money, now in the form of crypto.
for those who are aware of opportunities for developing cryptocurrency, it will certainly change idea of crypto. America is a well-established country, they will bring crypto, where in future many countries must follow it like the companies that have won the investment funds in buying and selling can be in the form of gold or money, now in the form of crypto.

Fidelity Investments, which administers more than $7.2 trillion in client assets, announced a new and separate company called Fidelity Digital Asset Services on Monday.
The firm will handle custody for cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and will execute trades on multiple exchanges for investors such as hedge funds and family offices.
Other crypto companies have debuted similar products, but Fidelity is the first Wall Street incumbent to officially provide cryptocurrency solutions such as custody.
“Our goal is to make digitally native assets, such as bitcoin, more accessible to investors,” Fidelity Investments Chairman and CEO Abigail Johnson says.

If this is true then it's something to be joyous about but at the same time should not just be the reason to start to alter position because when it comes to crypto, its always the opposite that usually happens and because the market is too dynamic and equally volatile to conclude a particular direction is what price will go due to certain happenings in the industry.

Imagine a trillion dollars will spend in BTC and hold for a long term. That is really awesome! In that case, bitcoin will become luxurious and people hold it will become millionaires.
I don't want to pop your bubble, but they are NOT going to spend a trillion dollars on Bitcoin.
The most we can expect them to do is to allocate a very conservative percentage of their total assets to Bitcoin. 0.1-0.5% would be immense already if you take into consideration that it equals $7-$35 billion dollars, which is far more than what went into this market during last year's bull run.
Important for people to understand is that Fidelity having $7 trillion dollars worth of assets doesn't mean they can blindly invest it in whatever they think is the best option. It's not their money for the most part, but from you, your neighbour, businesses, etc. They have to ask internal permission first, after that we can see them proceed with their plans to actually invest in Bitcoin.

This is really one of the best things I have ever expected. I think their market should be well known and there should be such companies that help people who do not understand e-wallets can invest more easily. This is a great solution and it is even better than the trading platform. a great idea.

Fidelity is good and reputable company, handling a large capital to manage and i think others financial instutituion will following this step and investing their funds to cryptocurrency. Market cap cryptocurrency will be rising if more financial intitution come to market

7 trillion dollars, money that I can't have, Wall Street companies use this money for bitcoin and institutional investors, it looks like this will affect crypto prices in many markets, but for now I still haven't seen a significant increase in trading volume on the market, okay I will wait for that.

“Our goal is to make digitally native assets, such as bitcoin, more accessible to investors,” Fidelity Investments Chairman and CEO Abigail Johnson says.
Abigail Johnson has been a huge supporter of bitcoin and crytpocurrencies for a few years. It's safe to say that she's been trying to find a way for Fidelity to offer trading or custody services in earnest since about 2016 or so. I'm thrilled to see it coming to reality. The cool thing about Fidelity bringing this news to us, rather than any other investment firm is that Fidelity is a leader in retirement investing and assets for their clients. They're not a hedge fund, they're not a trading firm. This means that inherently there is a deep "buy and hold" theme that they encourage with their clients or that their clients are already engaging in.
We may have just found our new wave of hodlers, friends!

I am believe in near future, more institutional finance or big investor make announcement that they already collecting crypto as their new investment instrument. I am believe market drop in past several months because big investor want buying at cheapes level. RIght now, i am believe on bullish movement
October 19, 2018, 07:21:44 PM
This is great news and it will help restore a lot confidence into the crypto marketplace. A full implementation of this proposal will see an influx of fresh investments into market. Now I see why a lot of analysts have been bullish on Bitcoin
I think what help restore confidence in crypto is regulation, imho.
This, the Bakkt is coming as well. We are still waiting to see the Bitcoin ETF descision. We have seen some great news and steps toward adoption in the last few months !
Exactly, there's a lot of positive news in the air right now. But we wonder why the price is not reacting or at least the price is sustainable to say that we are out of the bear market? Its because investors are getting smart in 2018 and doesn't want to make to take a lost at this point. So this news, won't make a significant impact and we would continue to see the market trading sideways with a couple of sell downs here and there.

$7.2 trillion? It's amazing! If it happens, expect that there is huge changes in bitcoin. It will also pull all cryptocurrencies specially the top coins in every market. Imagine a trillion dollars will spend in BTC and hold for a long term. That is really awesome! In that case, bitcoin will become luxurious and people hold it will become millionaires.

CNBC news published: Fidelity Investments, which administers more than $7. 2 trillion in client assets, has announced a new and separate company called Fidelity Digital Advantage Services on Monday. Their own goal is to make digitally native assets, such as bitcoin, more accessible to depositors,” Fidelity Investments Chairman and TOP DOG Abigail Johnson says. So its not bullish news, but get some really fgood thing to do.
October 19, 2018, 05:06:03 PM
Certainly it's a good news for bitcoin. We need this kind of investment to get back the bull run of previous year. Let's just hope for the best.
October 19, 2018, 04:04:00 PM
This is a great news. I do hope that some others will follow suit. Great for those big investors who knows that blockchain tech in general may be of great use for them in the future.
October 19, 2018, 03:47:42 PM
Wow, Fidelity investment making a new and separate company for cryptocurrency is nothing but a wonderfull news. This kind of news shows the growth of cryptocurrency globally.
October 19, 2018, 03:46:50 PM
Easier transferability of hedge funds to cryptocurrency will lead to more investors for Fidelity. The seperate division will attract many investors, which can be speculated at least.

Of course they are not going to put trillions of dollars into bitcoin, the whole crypto space worth about quarter of a trillion dollars right now so unless they want to cripple the market all by themselves they won't. However, when you have a trillion dollar to invest into stuff and still make profit there are very few stuff you could potentially invest into without crippling hence they have to invest into many different stuff.
Stocks, forex, gold, hell even emeralds and sapphires and all that as well probably, they need to invest into foreign companies and stocks as well and so forth, you have to diversify the hell out of your funds to make any sense of that type of money.
That eventually came down to bitcoin as well, they could potentially spend about 1-10 billion dollars just to start and see where it is right now and how it would benefit them and even losing all of that money wouldn't hurt them too much, of course as a financial institute it is really bad for them lose money no matter how much but they are probably used to those types of swings.

Probably businessman/woman know the real purpose of blockchain tech. This is a lot of money which it can improve the economy if it is being managed properly. At least, we can see the interest of the people which is a sign of a better progress about this feature and hoping their objectives will sooner be successful.
