Onramp Invest Launches Crypto Education and Connectivity Platform for Registered Investment Advisors

Gemini Frontier Fund and Ritholtz Wealth Management are among early investors in Onramp's current fundraise; first integration partners include Advyzon and CF Benchmarks

Onramp Invest, a multiple cryptoasset Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS), has emerged from beta mode today. Created by advisors, for advisors, Onramp Invest launches a full suite of resources designed to empower registered investment advisors (RIAs) with the cryptoasset knowledge and access they need to support the growing demand from their clients. The new iPaaS platform aims to first educate and then help advisors navigate the rapidly evolving crypto marketplace, which has captured the attention of investors worldwide.

Also opening its doors today is the Onramp Academy in partnership with Galaxy Digital's crypto funds arm, Galaxy Fund Management, Interaxis and CoinDesk. The Academy aims to educate advisors, their clients and consumers about cryptoassets, thereby helping investors at all levels make better strategic decisions.

"Our mission is to be the interstate of connectivity coordinating data flow and interoperability from the crypto-economy to traditional financial architecture," said Tyrone Ross, CEO and co-founder of Onramp. "Cryptoassets are here to stay. We feel compelled to empower the next generation of advisors and investors through education and access."

"As a financial advisor, I truly understand an advisor's challenge when explaining a hot new financial topic to clients," said Ross. "We will give fiduciary advisors peace of mind which they can then transfer to their clients."

Onramp sits at the intersection of financial and consumer technology and will leverage the talents of its team, led by Ross, to open doors and democratize access to cryptoassets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and others.

"Financial advisors all over America are being asked about digital assets every day," said "Downtown" Josh Brown, CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management. "As fiduciaries, we have to understand and quantify the role these assets play in our clients' portfolios. Onramp is providing financial planners with the industry's first solution to incorporate this essential information into our services."

Onramp's early adopters and confirmed integration partners to date include: Advyzon, CF Benchmarks, and Wealthbox. A list of early investors in Onramp's current round of funding include: Eterna Capital, Gemini Frontier Fund, and Ritholtz Wealth Management.

"Wealthbox is delighted to partner with Onramp Invest to help advisors manage clients where digital assets are increasingly involved in the financial planning relationship," said John Rourke, CEO of Wealthbox.

"At Advyzon, our passion, and our mission, is to continue to provide innovative technology to our clients," said John Mackowiak, Chief Business Development Officer at Advyzon. "Our integration with Onramp Invest gives advisors the ability to not just have a one-time conversation but manage these assets alongside more traditional options."

Financial advisors now have a one-stop-shop, fully compliant fintech partner platform for direct access to cryptoassets paired with the educational resources needed to get informed and keep clients safe.

Ross concludes: "Creating a revolutionary platform such as this would not be possible without the tireless efforts of our dedicated team. I will use this as one of my many opportunities to say, ‘I appreciate you' for making this possible."
