Will Betterment’s current portfolios incorporate crypto?

Our current portfolios won’t be incorporating crypto. Once built, our new crypto portfolios will be offered alongside our current suite of investments.

Can I sign up for Makara through Betterment?

Yes, you can sign up for and invest in crypto through the standalone Makara by Betterment app. In the future, we’ll integrate crypto portfolios into the main Betterment app, as a new investing option.

Is Makara or Betterment changing pricing?

How is this different from what I can do elsewhere?

Other platforms and exchanges only allow you to buy individual coins. Others allow you to buy futures ETFs, which can be expensive and don’t offer direct exposure to crypto. With Betterment, you’ll be able to invest in managed crypto portfolios that incorporate automated technology and guidance—alongside traditional equities portfolios.
