Digitalna sredstva Fidelity, ki bodo razširila svojo delovno silo ob hitrem povpraševanju po kripto

Fidelity Digital Assets, kriptovalutna veja giganta za upravljanje premoženja, si prizadeva povečati svojo delovno silo ob močnem povpraševanju institucionalnih strank po svojih kriptovalutah. Po navedbah Bloomberga bi lahko osebje priča 70-odstotni širitvi, saj se podjetje veseli zaposlovanja skoraj 100 delavcev za operacije v Dublinu, Bostonu in Salt Lake Cityju.

In an interview, Tom Jessop, president of Fidelity Digital Assets, stated that the company aims to develop new products and expand its current crypto offerings beyond Bitcoin (BTC). Also, he added: “[Last year] was a real breakthrough year for the space, given the interest in Bitcoin that accelerated when the pandemic started. We’ve seen more interest in Ether, so we want to be ahead of that demand.”

Fidelity Digital Assets od trenutka tiska med drugimi storitvami Bitcoin ponuja tudi skrbništvo, trgovanje. Vendar je predsednik podjetja namignil na možnost, da se trgovanje kmalu potisne skozi več kriptos. "Večji del tedna želimo biti na kraju, kjer je polno," je dejal.

The crypto branch of the asset management giant has been active in hiring people to strengthen its service across such a front in the last few months, even since the previous year, despite the coronavirus pandemic. In November 2020, Fidelity Digital Assets initiated a massive recruitment drive to hire more than 20 engineers for the development of its cryptocurrency trading and custody services.

In fact, it helped the company to focus on pushing other crypto-related products in December last year. Since that month, the firm allows its customers to borrow fiat loans against as much as 60% of their bitcoin holdings. The crypto-backed loans are offered in a partnership with New York-based BlockFi, a wealth management platform for crypto investors.

Fidelity Digital Assets služi samo institucionalnim vlagateljem, kot so hedge skladi, družinske pisarne in tržni posredniki.
