Fintech unicórnio Stash aprofunda seu impulso em cripto com oito novas ofertas

O aplicativo de investimentos e serviços bancários Stash anunciou que os clientes poderão comprar oito das maiores e mais estabelecidas criptomoedas por meio de uma conta criptográfica separada. 

Powering the investments, which will include bitcoin and ether, will be infrastructure provider Apex Crypto, according to uma liberação. 

Founded in 2015, Stash is a fintech unicorn that offers banking and investing services through its digital platform. The startup most recently aumentou $ 125 milhões in a Series G funding round, bringing its total funding to $427 million, de acordo com Crunchbase.  

Os patrocinadores de Stash incluem T. Rowe Price, Eldridge e Union Square Ventures. 

“Stashers are intrigued by crypto and we are here to help them as a trusted partner,” said Brandon Krieg, co-founder and CEO of Stash, in the release.  

This is Stash’s second push into crypto. The first occurred earlier this year when the startup introduced crypto exposure in its fully-managed Smart Portfolio accounts.  

It’s also rolling out a new crypto calculator that aims to help customers build balanced portfolios. They will receive in-app alerts if the portfolio has too much crypto exposure relative to their risk profile, the company said. 

Doug Feldman, Stash’s chief investment officer, disse ao TechCrunch that customers won’t be able to store their own crypto in a wallet. However, he didn’t rule out a crypto wallet launch in the future. 

Stash has more than 2 million active customers and nearly $3 billion in assets under management, de acordo com o lançamento. Total customers are down roughly 60% compared to the five million outlined in January 2021 while AUM is up by around 20%.
