One of the world’s largest fund managers has formed a new UK entity to sell cryptocurrency services to European clients.

Fidelity Digital Assets, the cryptocurrency arm of Fidelity Investments, has offered custody and trading tools to financial institutions in the US since 2018. State regulators in New York gave it a green light on November 20 this year, paving the way for sales to Wall Street investors.
