Fidelity Investments, a US asset management firm, is exploring the possibility of launching its own stablecoin.
Stablecoins, which aim to maintain a stable value, have gained popularity with approximately $238.5 billion in circulation.
Tether, the leading stablecoin, has over $140 billion worth of its token, USDT, and has been profitable through interest earned on reserves.
Fidelity is actively testing a stablecoin but has no immediate plans for a public launch, following the trend of financial institutions entering the cryptocurrency sector.
