  Fidelity faces challenges in verifying the identity of individuals in cryptocurrency transactions due to the decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies. Unlike traditional financial systems, cryptocurrencies operate on a peer-to-peer network, making it difficult for Fidelity to rely on centralized sources for identity verification. Additionally, the pseudonymous nature of cryptocurrency transactions adds another layer of complexity, as individuals can use anonymous wallets and addresses to conduct transactions. Fidelity is working on implementing innovative solutions to enhance identity verification in the cryptocurrency space.
