BlockTrust IRA Introduces Advanced Quantitative Trading for Crypto Retirement Accounts
As Bitcoin ETFs grow in popularity and institutional interest in cryptocurrencies expands, individual investors are increasingly turning to IRAs to gain crypto exposure. However, traditional crypto IRA offerings often limit investors to a passive buy-and-hold strategy.
BlockTrust IRA aims to change this by actively managing crypto portfolios to leverage market volatility and optimize returns.
Powered by trading signals from Animus Technologies, a leading quant fund that processes vast amounts of data globally, BlockTrust’s platform dynamically adjusts exposure. It moves assets to cash during turbulent times and re-enters positions when indicators signal favorable conditions.
Jonathan Rose, CEO of BlockTrust, shared with CoinDesk, “Our AI-integrated trading system thrives on volatility and risk, enabling us to outperform standard buy-and-hold strategies consistently.”
Previously exclusive to high-net-worth and institutional clients, Animus Technologies’ advanced analytics are now accessible to everyday crypto investors via BlockTrust IRAs.
Currently focused on Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), BlockTrust offers access to over 60 cryptocurrencies, with minimum investments starting at $1,000 for self-managed accounts and $25,000 for managed portfolios. Trading fees range from 0.4% down to 0.14%.
Launched officially in February, BlockTrust IRA quickly amassed $10 million in assets and anticipates reaching $100 million by year’s end.
Available worldwide to investors who meet KYC requirements, U.S. clients benefit from the added advantage of tax-deferred growth within their retirement plans.
Despite ever-changing market dynamics, Rose remains optimistic: “Animus Technologies leads the field by several years, setting a standard that competitors will take time to match.”
