Fidelity is privately held (the Johnson family) but its equivalent 'enterprise value' is generally cited in the $70B-$100B range given $13T+ in assets under administration. Ethereum's market cap ($280B-$500B) is 3-7x Fidelity on that basis. Fidelity is the most crypto-native of the big US wealth managers: it launched Bitcoin mining research early, offers Fidelity Crypto to retail, operates Fidelity Digital Assets for institutions, and runs the FBTC spot Bitcoin ETF and FETH spot Ethereum ETF. The comparison is useful because Fidelity's adoption arc telegraphs what mass-distributed ETH ownership looks like. Fidelity employees' 401(k) plans can hold BTC. Correlation is indirect — Fidelity's franchise benefits from crypto adoption broadly but is diversified across all asset classes.
