Fidelity's head of digital asset strategists says financial institutions have no way back from tokenization. In the view reported by Cointelegraph on Oct 8, 2026, institutions are moving toward a tokenized, onchain future.
The case rests on two points. Tokenization gives financial institutions structural advantages, and it helps asset managers reach new markets. The report was written by Cointelegraph staff writer Zoltan Vardai and edited by Robert Lakin.
The material available does not say which assets, products or institutions are involved. It also gives no timeline, figures or plans from Fidelity itself. It does not name any critic or opposing view.
For someone already holding a perpetual position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this changes nothing directly. The story reports no change to funding rates, trading fees or liquidity on any of these venues. It is an asset manager's view on tokenization, not a market or exchange event.
