Under the partnership, FS Investments and NYDIG are bringing products to market that offer access to bitcoin, backed by NYDIG's secure, regulated and insured custody solutions and FS Investments' marketing and education capabilities. For any products offered under the partnership, FS Investments will provide marketing and education services, utilizing its best-in-class education platform and broad, deep distribution team to reach and educate advisors.
