Stake with the best conditions across a range of platforms
Liquidity Aggregation
Our priority lies in optimizing execution speed without compromising liquidity. We provide prices from two complimentary sources, exploiting their advantages depending on market conditions. We have a provider without "last look" offering the best speed to access the market and a provider that offers us liquidity during high-volatility conditions. Our proprietary aggregation engine evaluates market conditions and directs the flow to the best provider at any point in time.
Our staking Implementation Process
Given the diversified nature of our investment solutions, which vary across many asset classes, geographies and structures, we do not adhere to a singular or narrow approach to ESG, but rather, where appropriate or practicable with respect to a particular investment, incorporate such principles across investment philosophies and processes.
Ultrarevo conducts due diligence on a particular opportunity for a fund it manages, whether it be an investment in a third-party portfolio advisor’s commingled fund or a more direct investment in the form of a secondary purchase or co-investment, ESG factors, where appropriate or practicable with respect to such investment, are reviewed alongside more traditional indicators such as the team behind the investment opportunity, the strategy that is being pursued, the investment process, past and potential future performance and investment term.
What is cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrency is a virtual currency secured through one-way cryptography. It appears on a distributed ledger called a blockchain that's transparent and shared among all users in a permanent and verifiable way that's nearly impossible to fake or hack into.
The original intent of cryptocurrency was to allow online payments to be made directly from one party to another without the need for a central third-party intermediary like a bank. However, with the introduction of smart contracts, non-fungible tokens, stablecoins, and other innovations, additional uses and capabilities for cryptocurrency are rapidly evolving. Cryptocurrencies are not FDIC insured and are not protected by SIPC or CFTC regulations.
Popular Types of Cryptocurrencies
Bitcoin
Bitcoin, the most well-known cryptocurrency, allows for direct peer-to-peer exchange of value on a decentralized payment network.
Ether (ETH)
Ether is a cryptocurrency that is native to the Ethereum blockchain and network. The Ethereum blockchain allows users to create programmable "smart contracts" which execute only after certain conditions are met between two or more parties.
Ultrarevo's perspective
We suggest that clients who are interested in cryptocurrency approach them as speculative investments and consider their goals. For those who already have a diversified portfolio and a long-term investment plan, we see cryptocurrency as being used primarily for trading purposes outside the traditional portfolio.
Cryptocurrency-related ETFs and Mutual Funds
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds are available that provide exposure to spot cryptocurrency, cryptocurrency futures contracts, and companies focused on servicing the cryptocurrency market.
Here are some aspects to consider about cryptocurrency investing in general, as well as differences between investing directly in the spot market vs. indirectly.
Cryptocurrency Staking
Potential for appreciation
Some investors are attracted to the volatile price swings as a potential for profit.
Portfolio diversification
Some investors believe that if the lack of correlation with other asset classes continues, cryptocurrency could add diversification to a portfolio.
Direct Investing (spot market) Considerations
Transaction transparency
The use of blockchain records transactions between parties in a verifiable and permanent way visible to all.
24/7 access
Unlike traditional exchange-traded products, cryptocurrency can be bought or sold at any time.
Control
With self-custody and blockchain interoperability, cryptocurrency provides substantial user autonomy outside of traditional financial networks.
