Bitcoin wallet startup Blockchain has introduced its institutional platform targeted at institutions, family offices, and individual investors.
The new platform, Blockchain Principal Strategies (BPS), will provide digital asset investors access to markets, research, and services. This includes an over-the-counter trading desk, a customized portfolio view, along with exclusive insights into market fundamentals, risk metrics, and access to a research team that includes the leading cryptocurrency economist, Garrick Hileman.
Blockchain said that the new platform will enable clients to explore a variety of managed investment offerings including the opportunity to make direct equity investments into promising companies in the larger digital asset ecosystem, as well as gain access to early stage token offerings. It said that it will be launching additional institutional products throughout the summer.
“We are thrilled to debut Blockchain Principal Strategies, an institutional grade platform customized for institutions, family offices, and individual investors,” said Peter Smith, CEO and Co-Founder of Blockchain. “BPS provides clients the opportunity to invest in digital assets with the same peace of mind and security that has become synonymous with the Blockchain name.”
Last month, digital currency exchange Coinbase also announced a suite of institutional products to help institutional participants entering crypto space.
