A few weeks ago Fidelity started offering a waitlist for retail bitcoin trading accounts, now some of those on the waitlist are being offered the ability to open accounts. Here’s what we know so far:
- Account is called ‘Fidelity Crypto’
- You can trade Bitcoin and Ethereum
- No trade fees
- Available in the following states:
- Alabama
- Arkansas
- California
- Colorado
- Delaware
- Florida
- Illinois
- Indiana
- Iowa
- Kansas
- Kentucky
- Massachusetts
- Michigan
- Mississippi
- Missouri
- Montana
- Nebraska
- Nevada
- New Hampshire
- New Jersey
- New York
- North Dakota
- Oklahoma
- Oregon
- Pennsylvania
- South Carolina
- South Dakota
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Utah
- Vermont
- Virginia
- Washington
- Wisconsin
- Wyoming
With other exchanges filing for bankruptcy and reports of stolen funds, I can see this being an attractive option for some.
