Small steps
Fidelity strarted dabbling back in 2013 when it opened a mining farm.
Since then, the mutual fund giant, which controls nearly trln, has upped the ante by launching its digital asset division back in 2018.
As reported by U.Today, Fidelity recently started rolling out its cryptocurrency custody service. It seems apparent that it wants to spar with Coinbase for the dominance in this rapidly growing market niche
