At least two major financial firms,Goldman Sachs and Fidelity,are actively searching out the realm of Bitcoin and Ethereum as investor demand for exposure to digital currencies swells.A Goldman spokeswoman told The Wall Street Journal that:
In response to client interest in digital currencies,we are exploring how best to serve them in this space.*
Indeed,Goldman has been following the currencies for some time now.One of its vice presidents issued a report on Bitcoin price action earlier this year,when it sharply increased to more than 5,000 dollars.The price has since declined all the way to below 1,000,before recovering to over 4,000.*
About 75 funds related to digital currencies have sprung up so far.*
Privately held Fidelity Investments,Inc. have also been probing this prospect,with CEO Abigail Johnson revealing they have made several venture investments in Bitcoin-related businesses and are looking at the blockchain technologies that underlie the currencies with a number of top universities.
Fidelity has gone even farther than Goldman,setting up a digital currency mining operation for educational purposes that uses hardware from 21 Inc.Ms.Johnson said:
We set up a small Bitcoin and Ethereum mining operation...that miraculously now is making a lot of money.*
The Ark Innovation exchange-traded fund provides exposure to digital currencies and other advanced concepts.*
Among the skeptics,JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has dismissed digital currencies as being a fraud.*
At time of publication,the currency prices were:
Bitcoin (BTC) 4360.00 +1.20%
Ethereum (ETH) 294.97 -2.13%
Bitcoin Futures 4318.00 + 1.38%*
