Why digital assets?
Digital Assets Are Becoming a Growing Part of Modern Investment Portfolios
Wealth is no longer determined simply by bags of gold and acres of farmable land like it was when the word was thought to have originated.
Today, modern wealth lies in a new, technology-enabled investment opportunity: Digital assets.
Digital assets can exist wholly in the digital realm as well as include tokens that represent physical assets.
For example, cryptocurrency is a digital currency that exists only virtually. And while virtual currency is still a concept many traditional investors struggle to grasp, all you have to do is look at some of the world’s Bitcoin (a type of cryptocurrency) millionaires to see that its value is just as real as any other asset class with which an investor may choose to diversify.
And that value is sure to rise as, according to research from Fidelity Digital Assets, institutional investors take a growing interest in adding digital assets to their portfolios.
In their survey of 774 institutional investors in the U.S. and Europe, nearly 80% of respondents said they found digital assets “appealing” for a variety of reasons.

Nearly 40% of the institutional investors surveyed already had digital assets in their portfolios and 60% said these assets had a place in their portfolios, eventually. Bitcoin was the most popular digital asset with 25% of respondents holding investments in the cryptocurrency.
“These results confirm a trend we are seeing in the market towards greater interest in and acceptance of digital assets as a new investable asset class,” said the president of Fidelity Digital Assets, Tom Jessop, about the survey results. “This is evident in the evolving composition of our client pipeline, which spans from crypto native funds to pensions.”
In addition to adding the “new investable asset class” that is digital assets to your portfolio, next up are even more tactics for developing and maintaining well-balanced investments.
