The origin story of Rubicon Crypto is one that is
centered on what its founders believe are two of the most important themes
facing American investors for generations to come. First, the emergence
of blockchains, cryptocurrencies and digital assets are not
passing fads, but rather, they are transformational technologies at the very
infancy of their impact to business and society. Second, there is an
urgent need to create turnkey investment solutions for those needing help crossing
the digital divide presently separating everyday investors from the
so-called digital natives and tech-savvy early adopters that dominate the
industry. Product solutions that are more accessible, more transparent
and more consistent with the ways in which the vast majority of investors are
both familiar and comfortable.
Enter RUBICONCRYPTO...
Rubicon Crypto was
launched by executives with more than six decades of technology and financial
services industry experience from leading brands including American Express,
AT&T, Bell South, Morgan Stanley and Ameriprise Financial.
They created a suite of proprietary investment solutions for crossing
the digital divide that are more consistent with traditional asset
management products while also relying on a heavy dose of common sense and a long-term
investment discipline. Rubicon Crypto emphasizes emotional
intelligence and ignores the irrational exuberance and sensationalism that
defines the narrative and investor behavior around cryptocurrencies
and digital assets. Instead, we offer a more pragmatic approach for
individual investors, RIAs and institutions that are crossing
the digital divide.
