The fund came before the token
Fidelity dates Treasury Digital Fund to December 23, 2024. Its task was familiar: seek current income while preserving capital and liquidity, normally by keeping at least 99.5% of assets in cash and U.S. Treasury securities. The portfolio, rather than a software protocol, was built to produce the return.
That origin matters because FDIT is neither Fidelity stock nor a separately backed digital dollar. It represents a share of the fund’s OnChain Class, whose mutual-fund ticker is FYOXX. A holder participates in the pooled fund under its documents and does not take title to a particular Treasury bill.
