Abstract:Fidelity, one of the world's major financial services companies, has begun to provide consumers with bitcoin trading accounts.
This follows their earlier disclosure of a wait list earlier this month. According to The Block, select users, presumably those on the queue, got an email outlining the release with the message “The wait is gone.”
Fidelity has been involved in the bitcoin sector for some time, beginning mining bitcoin in 2014, according to the company website. In addition, in December 2021, it will offer a spot bitcoin ETF in Canada.
The financial services behemoth's involvement in bitcoin has not gone unnoticed, with US lawmakers questioning its provision of a 401k plan that enables customers to allocate to bitcoin.
The same group of senators recently revived the same concern, stating in their newest letter, “Fidelity Investments has decided to go beyond conventional finance and plunge into the very unstable and more dangerous digital asset sector.”
Despite these cautions, Fidelity looks to be jumping into bitcoin wholeheartedly, as interest in bitcoin within the conventional banking industry grows. It should be emphasized that the move comes at a very intriguing moment, considering recent events surrounding the collapse of FTX and the increased focus on volatility in the sector.
With the industry image so shaky, the acts of behemoths like Fidelity will almost surely have repercussions for bitcoin legislation in the future.
Aside from FTX, senators claim that cryptocurrency investments have only developed as a dangerous and speculative bet, and they are afraid that Fidelity would assume similar risks with millions of Americans' retirement assets.
Fidelity is the biggest retirement plan provider in the United States, with more than $10 trillion in assets under management, and its move was considered a crucial driver for making cryptocurrency even more popular. The cryptocurrency option is now accessible to the 23,000 employers that use Fidelity to manage their 401(k) retirement funds.

In the current political climate, understanding the policy differences between the main candidates has become increasingly important. As the 2024 U.S. presidential election approaches, the intense rivalry between Trump and Harris not only influences voters' decisions but also determines the future direction of the nation at a crucial time. With voting imminent, voters face two distinctly different governance philosophies and policy directions that impact not only U.S. domestic and foreign policy but also profoundly affect the global investment landscape.
As the 2024 U.S. presidential race approaches, investors worldwide are closely watching potential outcomes and their implications for global markets. While a 269-269 Electoral College tie between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump remains unlikely, its occurrence would set the stage for an unprecedented period of political uncertainty, triggering a contingent election decided by Congress. Such uncertainty would ripple across forex, stock, and oil markets, where stability and predictability are prized. Here’s a look at how a tie could affect these key financial sectors.
