Fidelity Looking to Expand its Crypto and Token Research Team

Owing to the latest Binance-CFTC episode, the state of the crypto market has worsened. Right after the largest exchange was sued, the community sentiment turned pessimistic and asset prices started dropping. That being said, companies continue to spread their wings into the ecosystem.

Financial service giant Fidelity is currently on the lookout for a crypto and token research development lead to join its existing quantitative research and investments technology team. The “newly created senior role” will bridge the gap and help in guiding a team of quantitative developers supporting the crypto and token research team in asset management.

According to the firm, the new leadership role will require the person to work on data and technical frameworks for the evaluation of tokens and the associated blockchain protocols that form the basis of the evolving crypto and DeFi economy.

In fact, the head will also tie up with Fidelity business and technology leaders to “identify and define strategic priorities” and enable the execution of these initiatives.
