Fidelity brings FIDD stablecoin to on-chain finance
Fidelity Digital Assets has reaffirmed its institutional strategy for the Fidelity Digital Dollar (FIDD), an Ethereum-based stablecoin currently boasting a circulating supply of approximately 50.09 million tokens. Originally unveiled in January 2026, the asset is designed to serve as a bridge between traditional financial accounts and on-chain markets, facilitating payments, settlement, and the broader tokenization of real-world assets. The stablecoin is backed by a reserve portfolio consisting of short-term Treasury securities, overnight reverse repurchase agreements, and bank deposits, with custody managed by Fidelity Digital Assets and asset management overseen by Fidelity Management & Research Company. While Fidelity provides transparency through daily supply disclosures and monthly attestations by PricewaterhouseCoopers, the token does not distribute interest to holders and lacks FDIC or SIPC insurance. FIDD is currently accessible through Fidelity’s own platforms as well as external exchanges like Kraken and Bullish. By positioning FIDD as a payment instrument rather than a yield-bearing investment, Fidelity aims to leverage its existing institutional infrastructure to compete in a market dominated by USDT and USDC. The long-term success of the project will depend on its integration into institutional workflows and its ability to drive utility beyond simple exchange-based trading.
Fidelity Deploys FIDD Stablecoin Pool On Uniswap, Signaling Institutional DeFi Push
Fidelity Investments has officially launched a liquidity pool for its proprietary stablecoin, FIDD, on the Uniswap decentralized exchange. This integration marks a significant shift for the asset manager, moving its stablecoin from internal institutional use to the broader, permissionless DeFi ecosystem. By utilizing Uniswap, Fidelity enables transparent, on-chain price discovery and trading without relying on centralized intermediaries. The FIDD token maintains a 1:1 peg to the U.S. dollar and is backed by cash and cash-equivalent reserves. This move provides FIDD with immediate access to deep liquidity and a global user base while offering regulators real-time visibility into transaction flows. The deployment serves as a bellwether for institutional adoption of public blockchain infrastructure, potentially encouraging other financial giants to follow suit. Ultimately, this development validates the security and reliability of decentralized protocols for regulated digital assets and institutional-grade capital.
