Indeed Fidelity filed for these trademarks on 21 Dec with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Through these trademarks, Fidelity may provide crypto-related services in the Metaverse projects. 

These trademarks will also allow this company to provide NFTs & Crypto trade in the Metaverse, where the Web3 concept will play an important role. 

Fidelity will also help its clients to provide financial investment advice & planning in the Metaverse, which will be unique for those people who don’t want to visit the Fidelity offices practically & want services by sitting at home.

Earlier this, a month ago, Fidelity announced its Crypto trade platform for retail customers to allow them to easily buy & sell Bitcoin & Ethereum at zero commission fees. 

This year, despite the significant downfall in the crypto market, Fidelity showed significant expansion in its crypto-related services. In particular, in April of this year, the company announced the addition of Bitcoin to its 201(k) service, to allow the company’s employees to allocate their 20% retirement funds in Bitcoin. For the same, this company faced significant criticism in the United States over the Bitcoin’ highly volatile nature & potential risk for the money of the company’s employees.
