RE: 🚀🌙World's 4th largest assetmanager Fidelity to service institutional investors with custodial and trading options 🚀🌙
As Pandora has replied below, institutions that manage trillions in assets and family offices that manage millions to billions in assets are not going to entrust some "spotty" faced geek with their money. Their assets will require custodians with ironclad regulatory compliance, not some fly-by-night loser exchanges that have recently been under SEC scrutiny. One of these institutions have enough assets to buy the entire crypto-market ten times over, and you think such fund managers are going to open a Coinbase account?
Ha ha, yes I get your point, see my reply to Pandora.
I wonder if those guys will consider opening a coinbase/Binance/whatever account 10 years from now when crypto is massive by comparison!
ICE is launcing their BAKKT exchange in a few weeks for the institutional money to pour into the cryptomarket. Coinbase wisely repositioned itself to service those of us with modest assets in their portfolio, rather than competing with ICE. It is likely that as the cryptocurrency market expands to trillions in valuation, the "retail" type exchanges, like Coinbase and Gemini, will be purchased by more established financial providers, partly because these exchanges lack the experience, lobbying power, and financial network to accomodate the increased flow of capital.
When the cryptocurrency market rapidly increased in valuation in 2017, these "retail" exchages could not accomodate even increased application for verification process. It is unlikely that the "retail" exchanges can survive without mergering with the established financial institutions when the institutional capital flows in.
I expect different exchanges to cater to different market and customer types, I doubt that many decent ones will simply disappear.
Bakkt is indeed a game changer and should have a profound effect on the crypto market. I can't wait to see it in action!
