Crypto Advisors Go Wild: 100,000 Financial Pros Get a New Toy (No, Not a Boat)

by

Bitwise has teamed up with Icapital’s 100,000 advisors to unleash a dizzying number of high-octane crypto strategies designed to hunt for alpha—because obviously, nothing says “innovative frontier” like letting a crowd as big as a Taylor Swift concert loose on bitcoin derivatives. 🚀

Bitwise Unleashes Cryp-toe-Strategy Mayhem with Icapital’s Advisor Horde

On May 7, Bitwise Asset Management—arguably the most responsible adult at the crypto rave—decided to join forces with fintech platform Icapital. Why? To make sure absolutely no advisor anywhere could avoid hearing about “institutional-grade crypto strategies.” If you thought your current digital investment platforms were already too complex, buckle up!

“Buckle up, everyone; this roller coaster now takes portfolio managers too!”

He also observed that institutions and family offices are increasingly interested in crypto, which is a polite way of saying, “When even grandma’s trust fund is asking about NFTs, you know it’s mainstream.”

Thanks to this integration, Icapital users can trip over a carnival of crypto strategies, all engineered to wrangle “alpha” from the wild, wild west of digital assets. According to Bitwise, this is the real money move:

Users of Icapital Marketplace are now able to access Bitwise’s active crypto strategies that seek to capitalize on the alpha opportunities in the crypto space.

Translation: “If you thought buying bitcoin on your phone was stressful, wait until you experience twenty strategies at once, with names like ‘non-directional,’ ‘tactically directional,’ ‘long bias,’ and ‘special situations,’ all managed by a team that probably sleeps with Bloomberg terminals under their pillows. 😴💰”

Icapital continues its march to becoming the Amazon Prime of alternative investments, with 100,000 financial pros using its platform—or, as it probably says in big, bold font at headquarters, “Look Ma, no phone calls!”

Icapital’s Marketplace provides an all-digital investment platform that connects more than 100,000 financial professionals with a broad selection of alternative investment opportunities offered by the world’s largest asset managers—all on one simple and integrated platform.

Bitwise, which has already been around since 2017 (that’s like a century in crypto years), piles on ETFs, private funds, staking, and education, because why not? While some critics point at volatility and regulation and clutch their pearls, advocates say these new super-structured crypto strategies could actually help you diversify your portfolio, reduce risk, and maybe even sound smart at finance happy hour. 🍸
