Fidelity Launches Fidelity Digital Interest Token to Enter Tokenized Asset Market

Fidelity launched the Fidelity Digital Interest Token (FDIT) on August 4, 2025. This Ethereum-based token represents shares in U.S. Treasury securities and cash equivalents, marking Fidelity's entry into tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).

  • FDIT has attracted over $200M in assets but has seen low investor participation.
  • Two holders have been identified: one with nearly $1M in tokens.
  • The Bank of New York Mellon oversees FDIT's assets.
  • FDIT charges an annual management fee of 0.20%, exclusive to institutional investors.
  • Fidelity now competes with firms like BlackRock in the tokenized treasury market.

The launch integrates blockchain technology into traditional finance, improving liquidity and transparency. Recent trends indicate that tokenized RWAs could reach $300B by 2030 and potentially $30T by 2034.

Fidelity's move reflects growing trust in Ethereum for institutional-grade assets, reinforcing a bullish outlook for Ethereum projects.

Overall, the FDIT launch signifies increasing acceptance of blockchain within traditional finance, paving the way for further adoption by institutions and retail investors.
