Fidelity Plans Stablecoin Launch On Ethereum As Digital Asset Strategy Broadens
Fidelity Investments, a major Wall Street asset manager and crypto ETF issuer, has announced plans to launch its own U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin, the Fidelity Digital Dollar (FIDD), on the Ethereum blockchain. Issued by Fidelity Digital Assets, the token will be available to both retail and institutional investors in the coming weeks. FIDD will be fully integrated into Fidelity’s financial ecosystem, backed by reserve assets managed by Fidelity Management & Research, and redeemable 1:1 for USD. The launch comes amid clearer U.S. regulatory frameworks, including the recently passed GENIUS Act, which Fidelity believes will help meet growing client demand and support a more efficient financial system.
