Their combined experience underpins the company's strategic direction, blending entrepreneurial acumen with technical expertise.
Read full description
The core of Stacked's business model is to provide automated tools and pre-built strategies for cryptocurrency trading. The platform offers access to curated crypto indices, which function similarly to traditional stock market ETFs, allowing users to invest in a diversified basket of digital assets through a single transaction. Additionally, it provides access to trading bots developed by established firms and traders, enabling users to automate their trading activities based on predefined strategies. This approach targets both retail investors looking for a simplified entry into the crypto market and more experienced traders seeking to automate their strategies. Revenue is generated through subscription fees for accessing these automated tools and strategies.
Stacked's product connects to users' existing cryptocurrency exchange accounts, such as Binance, Coinbase, or FTX, and executes trades on their behalf without holding the users' funds directly. This non-custodial model enhances security by leaving the assets within the user's control. A key feature is the Stacked Marketplace, which allows users to subscribe to various trading bots and strategies. This caters to individuals who may lack the time or technical knowledge to develop their own complex trading algorithms. The company has secured significant funding to support its growth, including a $35 million Series A round led by Alameda Research and Mirana Ventures, highlighting investor confidence in its model.
