Fidelity Crypto: $4.5 trillion firm launches retail crypto trading


Despite opposition from American lawmakers, financial behemoth Fidelity has opened its new retail bitcoin trading accounts, advancing farther into the troubled cryptocurrency environment. According to the firm's website, Fidelity Crypto gives users the chance to purchase and sell bitcoin and Ethereum through the Fidelity Investments App. The company also promises users an integrated view of their traditional and crypto investments and the ability to trade cryptocurrency for as little as $1.

Only bitcoin and Ethereum will initially be able to be traded on the Fidelity Crypto platform, but the company claims that new cryptocurrencies are being considered to eventually increase trading options. As of the launch date, bitcoin transfers cannot be received or sent using Fidelity Crypto accounts. The website advertises "commission-free" cryptocurrency trading, however, every trade's execution price will include a 1% spread charged by the company. According to Fidelity, 1% is the maximum rate, though they may opt to apply a smaller spread percentage or none at all initially.

Currently, 35 states in the United States, including California, New York, Texas, Florida, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, will provide Fidelity Crypto. Customers in states where it isn't currently accessible can sign up for early access to be notified when the platform is approved.
