Company profile
researched Aug 2026Onramp Invest was a digital asset wealth management platform built for registered investment advisors and other financial professionals. The platform aggregated held-away crypto accounts and enabled direct investment in digital assets, connecting traditional advisory technology stacks with digital asset infrastructure. It integrated with RIA systems including Orion, Advyzon, Wealthbox and AssetBook, and provided access to funds, models, indices and portfolio management services from providers such as WisdomTree, CoinDesk, Global X and Valkyrie Invest.
A third-party data profile characterizes the offering as an integration platform-as-a-service (iPaaS) allowing advisory firms to model, manage and trade crypto assets, with a trading tool supporting automated rebalancing and smart order routing, plus asset management tooling for investments, cash and model portfolios. The company also operated Onramp Academy, an online library of articles, whitepapers, videos and other educational resources for advisors and clients, and Onramp Research, an open-source research site publishing charts of historical asset class and cryptocurrency returns, including hypothetical 60/40 portfolios with 1% and 5% bitcoin allocations.
Following the August 2023 acquisition by Securitize, the stated plan was for RIAs to access tokenized alternative asset classes — private equity, private credit, secondaries and real estate — through the existing Onramp Invest dashboard, with Onramp continuing as a Securitize subsidiary.
