Digital Assets Near Structural Turning Point, Says Fidelity Executive

According to Odaily, Chris Kuiper, Vice President of Research at Fidelity Digital Assets, has stated that digital assets are approaching a structural turning point similar to the impact of containers 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-moving funds like pensions and endowments. Kuiper believes that as access to cryptocurrencies broadens, wealth advisors may become an underestimated source of long-term demand. Furthermore, major banks have announced plans to establish digital asset capabilities by 2025, and by 2026, digital assets are expected to continue integrating into the traditional financial system, with regulatory clarity potentially accelerating this process.
