Digital asset custody and trading platform
Fidelity Digital Assets is a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments and operates as a separate business dedicated to digital assets. It combines the operational and technical experience that institutions and investors have grown to expect from a Fidelity business to deliver a completely new offering for this asset class.
Fidelity Digital Assets, in its report titled “Six Key Trends Shaping Digital Assets in 2026,” states that global signs of decoupling from the U.S. dollar system are emerging as more countries and central banks turn to assets such as Bitcoin and gold. The report notes that Iran has announced it will accept payments for oil transportation tolls in Bitcoin, USD-pegged stablecoins, and the Chinese yuan—indicating the emergence of alternative settlement mechanisms outside U.S. control. Meanwhile, although gold has retreated approximately 20% from its year-to-date high, central bank demand for gold remains robust.

According to CoinDesk, Fidelity Digital Assets released its “Q2 Signals Report 2026” on April 28, noting that although the crypto market as a whole remained in consolidation during early Q2, several underlying metrics have already shown signs of stabilization. The report states that Bitcoin’s dominance continues to rise, capital is flowing steadily into the most liquid assets, and both the unrealized profit level and momentum indicators align with characteristics typical of a correction phase—potentially laying the groundwork for a more stable market structure going forward. Meanwhile, network usage for Ethereum and Solana has diverged from their respective price trends, suggesting robust demand at the protocol layer. The report also notes that Bitcoin futures continue to exhibit negative funding rates; research firm 10x interprets this as reflecting institutional structural hedging behavior—not a broad bearish signal.
