Betterment, the largest independent digital investment advisor in the U.S., announced the launch of its cryptocurrency offering, Crypto Investing by Betterment.

- Universe: Features a diversified collection of cryptocurrencies, including established coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, offering broad exposure across the crypto landscape, from decentralized finance to the metaverse and more
- Sustainable: Includes cryptocurrencies that transact sustainably or those on networks with a path to sustainability, like the newly transitioned Proof of Stake Ethereum

Beyond crypto portfolios, retail investors and financial advisors will also have access to a wealth of information on the asset class including an educational resource center, a bi-weekly crypto newsletter, and regular commentary from our experts. Importantly, Betterment will recommend that customers limit their crypto exposure to no more than 5% of their investable assets.
Crypto Investment by Betterment represents the next phase in providing customers more investing choice. The addition of four crypto portfolios follows on last year’s introduction of an Innovative Technology portfolio. The new Sustainable crypto portfolio builds on the three socially responsible portfolios that have become popular options for Betterment customers.
