Makara by Betterment

Makara by Betterment is one of the first SEC-registered automated investment advisors focused in crypto. We use advanced algorithms to build and manage crypto portfolios that are specifically tuned to each investor's goals and preferences. Just as important, we try to ensure that one of the most innovative asset classes in history is accessible to anyone who wants to be a part of it.

For many people, crypto is complicated and unapproachable. There are thousands of assets, all with names that sound alike, and you have to learn an entirely new vocabulary if you hope to understand what anyone is talking about. We want to remove those barriers to entry. And of course, we want to help you make money.

Instead of simply letting you buy crypto, we help you invest in it—through education, highly curated and diversified investment options, and an intuitive user experience. Makara really is crypto made easy. For everyone.

INVEST IN BASKETS

Cryptocurrencies are volatile assets. Rather than invest in coins one-by-one, Makara baskets allow you to invest in dozens at the same time. If you’re interested in Decentralized Finance, choose the curated mix of tokens in the DeFi Basket. The Inflation Hedge Basket includes both Bitcoin and Paxos Gold, and the Universe Basket contains a broad range of cryptocurrencies and offers the most exposure to the market as a whole. If you’re not sure what you want, that’s no problem either. Just tell us a few things about yourself (your goals, interests, and risk tolerance), and we’ll suggest the right baskets for you.

Diversifying your portfolio has long been a principle in the traditional market. We think it’s time the concept is applied to crypto, too.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

Download the app and sign up for Makara by Betterment. In less than five minutes, you’ll be ready to start investing in cryptocurrencies.

We'll ask you some questions about your goals and interests, then recommend baskets based on your responses. You can follow those recommendations or browse the different baskets and choose for yourself.

Connect your bank account to transfer cash into the app, or we can transfer your existing cryptocurrency from another exchange. Fund your account with as little as $50, and you’re ready to go.

Your diversified digital assets are monitored and rebalanced regularly by our sophisticated algorithm. Checking in on them or placing new buy and sell orders is as easy as opening the app.

MAKING CRYPTO APPROACHABLE FOR EVERYONE

Makara by Betterment simplifies cryptocurrency investing through an education-centric experience and a curated set of diversified baskets. Our goal is to help you understand exactly what you’re investing in and why. Because then you’ll also understand exactly why we are the company to guide you.
