Momentum is a crypto native adaptation of a 30-year-old institutional investing approach used by hedge funds and asset managers. Instead of blindly holding through market cycles, Momentum automatically adjusts your exposure based on trend.

TL;DR

  • Momentum adjusts exposure based on trend, offering an alternative to passive holding.

  • Ideal for long term BTC & other majors like ETH, optimizing risk-adjusted growth without leverage.

  • Works best in trending and volatile markets, reducing drawdowns in downturns.

  • Alternative to DCA, dynamically adjusting exposure instead of fixed buys.

  • Tax-efficient profit taking through automatic rebalancing, avoiding taxable events.

  • May underperform in range markets, where price lacks clear direction.
