Truvius Launches Institutional-Grade Crypto Investment Platform With $3.2M In Funding

Today we are excited to announce our $3.2M pre-seed funding round led by Galaxy Ventures and the launch of the Truvius platform. We founded Truvius to solve the difficult problem of making long-run systematic investing in digital assets easy and familiar for both institutions and individuals, and with today’s milestone launch, investors can now access our first-of-its-kind crypto investment platform. Read news coverage and see the press release.

What is Truvius?

Truvius is an all-in-one crypto investment management platform for cutting-edge investors that features fiat and crypto account funding, a marketplace of thoughtful active and passive investment strategies designed for the long-run, qualified custody, performance analytics, and fully managed portfolio rebalancing – all within a sleek, intuitive dashboard personalized to you.

Why Was Truvius Founded? What Problem Do We Solve?

Truvius was founded to solve a specific and growing problem: as the crypto industry transitions from early adoption to mass adoption, we see that the digital asset class is evolving rapidly, but the investment products and experience are not. This is particularly true for savvy large-scale investors who are familiar with sophisticated long-term strategies made accessible via well-designed investor apps, but for whom these options don’t exist with digital assets and have been looking for a solution like Truvius.

A substantial and growing wave of institutional investors are pouring into digital assets, and digital assets represent the primary investment for more than half of U.S. millennial investors—a demographic that stands ready to inherit the largest wealth transfer in history. But these investors are drastically underserved because the current landscape of available crypto investment platforms is highly limited in terms of both user experience and investment sophistication. These investors are left facing staggering investment management hurdles ranging from basic operational ones (ex: qualified custody setup and account management) to complex investing ones (developing long-term, multi-asset strategies that automatically rebalance).

Additionally, the current crypto investment landscape focuses heavily on purely passive exposure and concentrated single-token allocations to assets like BTC and ETH, but investors are demanding broader multi-sector exposure to the entire digital asset ecosystem with active management options.

The Truvius Solution

Truvius solves this. We think the sophistication of our strategies coupled with the ultra-sleek feel and immersive experience enabled by our platform will completely transform how investors view crypto asset management.

1. The first solution is our custom-built suite of investments that adhere to institutional portfolio construction techniques and span both passive and actively managed strategies. Our products and the allocator experience the Truvius platform enables are borne from our experience in institutional quant finance. 

2. The second way Truvius changes crypto investing is through a seamless onboarding experience and intuitive investor interface that makes getting started and overseeing the entire investment lifecycle incredibly simple for investors.

Importantly, Truvius is a compliance-first advisor, meaning our entire platform – from custody and trading to performance reporting to investment offerings – adheres to SEC compliance and regulations.

Who is Truvius for?

Truvius serves both individuals and institutions.

For individual investors, we serve the high-net-worth individual and high-earner communities. For institutional investors, we serve family offices, funds of funds, and other allocators.

Truvius was founded for investors seeking fundamentals-driven systematic active management or thoughtfully constructed, broad-based passive exposure to digital assets – all within an easy-to-use, flexible user interface personalized to you. The investment platform offers direct index-style active and passive crypto SMA investments, removing the barriers of typical fund structures and broadening access to thematic digital asset exposures for cutting-edge investors.

We’re excited to serve both individuals and institutions because we’ve made opening and funding an account incredibly streamlined and automated for both customer segments. Customer onboarding all takes place within our app and can take minutes to complete – no more weeks or months-long manual onboarding flows and paperwork that you may experience with other investment managers. 

Truvius Investments

We’re obsessed with systematic investing. 

Truvius investment products are quantitatively driven, rules-based, and often target specific themes or sectors within the digital asset market. Our marketplace features crypto sector-specific and size-specific standalone indices, as well as models that allocate to multiple of these underlying indices. Our models also range from passive styles to systematically actively managed styles.

You can select one or multiple Truvius investments (including both models and indices) and allocate to those investments according to your preferences. In this sense, our models and indices represent the building blocks of a holistic allocation to the crypto market, making it easy to build multi-sector, multi-asset crypto portfolios that can include up to 30+ digital assets.

What Makes Truvius Different From Other Investment Platforms?

Our roots in quantitative finance are our key differentiator. We leverage our expertise in fundamentals-driven quantitative investing and institutional portfolio construction and apply it to digital asset markets for sophisticated investor profiles. While this style of investing is time-tested for traditional markets, this is a relatively new and exciting form of digital asset management.

The second pillar of our differentiated edge is that our entire platform is powered by our own infrastructure and technology. We make it incredibly easy and compliant as an SEC-registered internet advisor ourselves for high-net-worth individuals and institutions to get invested today.
