Fidelity enters the Metaverse
The company continues to work to be more active in the web3 sector.
According to Fidelity’s application, the company plans to offer applications, NFTs, NFT marketplace, virtual real estate investing, crypto trading and metaverse investment service on the metaverse universe.
The company is adopting digital assets much faster than other large investment companies. In this direction, various steps have been taken to increase the digital asset team to 500 people.
Following the initial announcement, the firm also activated commission-free retail accounts in November.
The company’s crypto activities also caused some reactions from some segments. Three U.S. senators have asked Fidelity to reconsider its decision, saying the cryptocurrency industry is becoming increasingly “volatile, turbulent and chaotic.”
The company has also launched a Bitcoin-focused retirement plan before.
