Direct Crypto Purchase via Fidelity Crypto
Fidelity Crypto allows you to directly buy and sell cryptocurrencies. Keep in mind that when purchasing through Fidelity, you are never given the code or key to access your currency but you do own it. Fidelity stores the currency for you.
Indirect Crypto Exposure
If you prefer a less direct approach, consider these options:
Crypto-Related Stocks
Invest in companies involved in the crypto ecosystem. This could include mining companies or firms developing blockchain technology.
Crypto ETFs
Fidelity offers ETFs like the Fidelity Crypto Industry and Digital Payments ETF (FDIG). FDIG allocates a portion to direct Bitcoin exposure and to mining companies.
Fidelity Digital Dollar (FIDD)
Fidelity is launching its own stablecoin, FIDD. This could provide another way to interact with the crypto market within the Fidelity ecosystem.
