Ethereum IRA is the second product launched by the company following its Bitcoin IRA, which has secured over $10,000,000 worth of real bitcoin in client custodial accounts since launching in June of 2016. Similar to its flagship product, American investors can hold real Ethereum in retirement accounts by choosing between traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, 401(k)s, SEP IRAs, and more.
The company will use TradeBlock s ECX Index as a reference rate and Genesis Global Trading, Inc. for Liquidity . To store investor funds, the company has entered an exclusive partnership with BitGo, utilizing its multi-signature wallet to ensure privacy, security, and full compliance with IRS regulations for self-directed retirement accounts.
