Seven years after secretly laying the groundwork for its crypto-businesses, the Boston giant announced the launch, of its crypto-asset management unit. Fidelity channels some of professor Saifedean Ammous' bullish view on Bitcoin. A month earlier, July 10, Fidelity stepped up its ability to mine Bitcoin by acquiring a 10% stake in Toronto, Canada-based Bitcoin miner Hut 8.
