Fidelity: Wall Street consolidation will drive cryptocurrencies into a new phase

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Chris Kuiper, Vice President of Research at Fidelity Digital Assets, stated that digital assets are approaching a structural inflection point similar to the impact container shipping has had on global trade. Infrastructure, institutions, and advisors are laying the groundwork for a structural shift in global finance. Institutional adoption is expanding through custody, derivatives, tokenization, and slow capital pools such as pension funds and endowments. Chris Kuiper believes that as the scope of cryptocurrency access broadens, wealth advisors may become an underestimated long-term demand source. Additionally, all major banks have announced plans to establish digital asset capabilities by 2025, and digital assets will continue to integrate into traditional financial systems in 2026. Clarification of regulations may accelerate this process.
