Hedgehog Crypto

Hedgehog is a crypto investment platform that makes it easy to maintain a balanced, diversified portfolio.

We make it easy to create a diversified portfolio of top crypto currencies, and keep that portfolio balanced according to criteria that you care about (like market cap or number of active users of a protocol).

We offer five Stacks, which are baskets of related cryptocurrencies, allowing you to invest in different sectors of this growing industry.

Total Crypto: Covers more than 85% of the entire crypto market

Bitcoin: Where it all started

DeFi: DApps & Peer-to-Peer financial services on the blockchain

Ethereum: Includes assets built on the ethereum network

Layer One: Contains the core networks that power the crypto ecosystem.

Yield Farming: Tokens that pool staked funds to generate rewards.

Stacks are Hedgehog's special sauce for a hassle-free investing experience. When you invest in a Stack, you own the assets directly, and we simply help manage them on your behalf in a Hedgehog custodial account.

Within each Stack, you can apply strategies like active users, marketcap, and daily transactions that can help determine your ideal investment in each cryptocurrency. Hedgehog can then automatically swap your assets to keep your stack balanced.

You can automatically rebalance weekly, monthly, never, or whenever it gets too out of whack, and even set custom targets for each asset.

Additional information on Hedgehog Stacks is available in our ADV.

Deposit and Withdrawals:

Hedgehog supports both fiat and crypto deposits or withdrawals.

Any assets that are deposited, purchased, or managed on Hedgehog belong to you (not to the company).

Your assets are never commingled, loaned, or borrowed against, and as an investment adviser registered with the SEC, Hedgehog is legally obligated to protect your assets and your financial best interest.

FAQs:

1. How do I know I can trust you?

We understand hesitating to trust anyone with sensitive data, because honestly that's just good sense.

We're backed by Y Combinator and Dragonfly Capital, our team comes from Acorns, the Zcash Foundation, Credit Suisse, and SAP, and we’re registered with the SEC* as an investment advisor, so we’re legally obligated to have your financial best interests at heart.

You should have control of your accounts from end to end, and that’s important.

Individual custody accounts are created for each user to store assets which are never lent out

In terms of data security, all of your information is encrypted using the 256-AES standard, which is the first and only publicly accessible cipher approved by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) for top-secret information.

2. What exactly is a Roboadvisor?

A robo advisor is a financial advisor that operates automatically. We have a bunch of computer algorithms that will automatically manage your finances in an intelligent way so that you don't have to think about it.

3. Do you sell my info?

No, and we never will. Hard stop.

4. I'm new to crypto. I have no idea what to do.

Make your way over to the Learn section on the app to get up to speed on the industry. If things are still confusing, make your way into our Discord community. Let's all learn together.

5. Why do I have to go through KYC and verify my identity?

Well, you don’t. If you only want to use Hedgehog’s software tools to manage your own portfolio, you can use Hedgehog without KYC.

If you want to use our custody and rebalance systems though, we’re required to get to know you a little better and make sure that you are…well, you.

The way this works from a technical point of view is to let Hedgehog open an account with a custodian for you, so that we can perform these trades on your behalf. In order to create a custodial account, going through the KYC process is required.

*Being registered as an investment adviser does not imply a certain level of skill or training.
