Fidelity & JP Morgan are betting big on retail adoption: Just look at who they're hiring

One of the best ways to see what's coming can be to see who is hiring, and for what. The largest companies tend to hire for their projects that are coming years, not months in the future.

So let's see some of the job listings, Fidelity is a good example, hiring for various senior level positions with paid advertising on cryptocurrency job boards:

We can also see what kind of services they're prioritizing by the job listings. Eg. The Head of Digital Asset Management Investment Services will be focusing on things like:

• Fidelity Digital Asset Management [FDAM] is the investment platform offering digital asset products and services designed to meet the growing needs of Fidelity’s retail customers and intermediary and institutional clients
• Tokenization – partner with the Head of Tokenization Strategy and Head of FDAM Technology to design and implement the operating infrastructure and support model for the tokenization of financial assets

JP Morgan is hiring a range of blockchain positions, mostly engineers, but are also hiring dozens of people to their "Tokenization" team:

JP Morgan Careers

They aren't hiring a few consultants to dip their toes into blockchain, they are hiring and building entire blockchain departments - and these departments are going to be bigger and more well-funded than most of the teams currently working in the crypto space.

I know there's a lot of predictions made based on charts here - but now that some of the largest companies in the world are diving into this space, we can see pretty clearly what their plans are, based on who they are hiring.

And just based on Fidelity and JPMorgan's job listings, we can see they are expecting a lot more retail crypto investors in the next few years.
