As U.Today reported earlier, the Boston-based investment giant Fidelity, which has always been at the forefront of financial progress, is now dipping its toes in cryptocurrencies. Apart from opening a huge Bitcoin mining facility, Fidelity CEO Abigail Johnson also made an announcement about launching a new crypto-related project by the end of this year. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean that digital currencies will soon come to your retirement account.
