Fidelity is hiring a lead for its crypto and token research development team, according to a job listing on LinkedIn. The senior position will join the existing quantitative research and investments technology team in Fidelity's asset management business, and will work on data and technical frameworks for evaluating tokens and associated blockchain protocols. Fidelity has had an institutional trading and execution services team since 2018, and recently opened up bitcoin and ether trading to its retail brokerage clients. The new crypto research role will report into the vice president of quant development and partner with other Fidelity business and technology leaders to identify and define strategic priorities based on business value needs.
