They noted that it has not yet achieved that status, but the potential is driven by a &#8220;decentralised settlement system and a scarcity of cryptocurrency.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Many still do not regard Bitcoin as digital gold. Once that happens, the price will move,&#8221; the report notes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The report cites concerns about the ongoing expansion of fiat currencies by leading central banks in the COVID-19 era, which has undermined confidence in traditional finance.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The unknown consequences of record-low interest rates, unprecedented levels of global monetary and financial stimulus, and deglobalisation\u2014all of this adds fuel to the fire of awareness and adoption,&#8221; the analysts noted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Researchers noted that you do not need to be a philosopher to understand that dollars have doubled in supply, while Bitcoin has halved since the last halving.<\/p>\n<p>As a long-term driver of broad adoption, FDAS pointed to the coming transfer of $68 trillion in capital from older generations to millennials, who trust Bitcoin more.<\/p>\n<p>The assets under management at Fidelity Investments stand at $7.3 trillion. The unit focused on providing institutional investors with trading services for Bitcoin and Ethereum was launched in October 2018.<\/p>\n<p>In June, Fidelity Investments found that 36% of the 774 large clients surveyed in the United States and Europe had added digital assets to their portfolios.<\/p>\n<p>Follow ForkLog on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/forklog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Fidelity Investments digital assets unit published a report highlighting Bitcoin as an aspirational store of value and as an insurance policy against problems in the financial system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26634,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"select":"1","news_style_id":"","cryptorium_level":"","_short_excerpt_text":"","creation_source":"","_metatest_mainpost_news_update":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1248],"class_list":["post-26633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-and-analysis","tag-fidelity-investments"],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_enabled":true,"views":"23","promo_type":"1","layout_type":"","short_excerpt":"","is_update":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26633"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26633\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26635,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26633\/revisions\/26635"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
