With over seven hundred supported crypto assets and 16 exchanges, this means you have a large selection of the best asset options that are available. Stripping away the necessity to bounce from exchange to exchange chasing the new hottest coin, everything will be available in a single place. The expectation in the future is that we will be able to support hundreds of more crypto assets as we expand the platform.

Automatic Rebalancing

Shrimpy integrates portfolio rebalancing which in our tests can improve returns by more than 53% while reducing volatility. This strategy is time-tested and has been used in stocks and bonds for many years — often increasing investor returns and decreasing volatility. Unfortunately, nobody has brought an automated way of rebalancing to crypto assets yet. Enter Shrimpy automated rebalancing.

Rebalancing takes advantage of the cyclical nature of the market by trading coins from those that did well over the period, to those that performed poorly. Basically it puts selling high and buying low on auto-pilot. The end result is that each coin represents your chosen percentage of your portfolio after each rebalance. Since this all happens automatically, there is no additional effort required compared to buy and hold.

Team

We are a small team of engineers and product managers located in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our members originate from Facebook, Amazon, NASA, Samsung, and Boeing. We have been involved with cryptocurrencies since December 2012. This began with mining DOGE on our custom rigs. Eventually, we began trading and developing custom software to manage our investments.

Our Mission

We believe crypto assets are going to disrupt the world, however we aren’t there yet. Managing a cryptocurrency portfolio is complicated. The diversity of coins has grown, convenience of investing hasn’t improved, and adoption from every day people is still impractical. The process of finding exchanges that accept fiat, transferring holdings to crypto exchanges, allocating balances, and maintaining your portfolio is cumbersome. This complexity has become one of the largest barriers to entry, preventing millions of people from getting into the market.

By focusing on ease of use for new cryptocurrency users, Shrimpy will change the way people manage their cryptocurrencies. The end vision for our application is one where you can deposit fiat currencies directly onto our platform, allocate a diverse portfolio in minutes, and monitor every aspect of your portfolio in real time. All of this will be baked directly into the Shrimpy platform, so there is never a need to use third party tools that require significant amounts of work to maintain.

We believe crypto should be for everyone. The current coin distribution is centralized to those users who were early adopters for the technology. This should not be the goal of cryptocurrencies. We should strive to put these assets in the hands of every individual regardless of status or circumstance. The only way to do this is to make it easily accessible. Shrimpy supports this vision by providing portfolios that are easy to manage and allocate, by setting no barriers to entry, and by increasing the availability of a diverse set of coins. This will allow more people to take advantage of this growing asset class for everyone’s benefit.
