SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Dec. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — IDX Insights, a research & development firm, announces the launch of the IDX Tactical Bitcoin Index on Coinbase. The index is designed to opportunistically allocate between bitcoin and cash using a proprietary rules-based process. The index seeks to provide a risk-managed allocation option for investors seeking exposure to bitcoin with lower volatility and lower drawdowns than a long-only allocation. Coinbase, Inc. clients can now engage IDX Insights directly in order to implement the IDX Tactical Bitcoin Index strategy in their accounts.
Ben McMillan, founding partner and CIO of IDX Insights said, “We’re thrilled that investors can now invest in our Tactical Bitcoin Index via Coinbase. As institutional interest in bitcoin has continued to grow, we continue to believe, now more than ever, that a tactical approach to this asset class is a more prudent approach for most investors. As the leading institutional custodian and trading venue for bitcoin, it makes sense that Coinbase continues to lead the way in unlocking innovative solutions for investors.”
Brian Foster, of Coinbase’s Institutional Coverage team and Coinbase Ventures, said: “Institutional investors are now allocating to crypto in size, and we believe risk-managed strategies will appeal to many of them. We’re excited to support IDX as their trusted custodial and execution partner.”
