According to Fidelity's website, the new product will offer commission-free bitcoin and ether trading, although it notes that a spread of up to 1% will be charged.
A recent report revealed that Fidelity was contemplating whether or not it would let individual brokerage customers trade bitcoin.
Fidelity is a prominent player in the institutional crypto space, it issued a bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in Canada and has several ETFs in the United States.
Fidelity's move to target the retail market follows a wider trend across crypto, with banking giant Goldman Sachs eyeing a collaboration with retail-focused crypto exchange FTX earlier this year.
