Today, after 12 months of dedicated work, we are proud to go live with IronChain Capital!

Our Mission

Streamline access to the digital asset class

IronChain Capital solves four of the current key problems in the space:

  1. Ease of access: we offer a simple user interface on web and mobile allowing users to open an account, transfer funds and place orders
  2. Liquidity: we created a hybrid liquidity pool that utilizes multiple exchanges and OTC trading desks
  3. Valuation: we developed a real time pricing engine for most US-traded digital assets (available through MithrilX). This engine gives us the ability to value our investors’ holdings accurately
  4. Custody: we developed a multi-layer custody solution in collaboration with the leaders in digital asset custody

Driven by the belief that a low cost, passively-managed index fund offers the best risk/reward for investing in the space, we built, in partnership with our sister company MithrilX, the MiX10, a market-cap weighted index of the most significant digital assets. The funds and future products will soon be available through our website and soon on our mobile application.

Meet The Team

IronChain Capital is primarily a technology company with 10 people building an innovative platform dedicated to investors worldwide. Our backgrounds are pretty eclectic: Steven and Michael combine 40 years of experience in finance (Goldman Sachs, Blackrock, Morgan Stanley, Ivory Capital), Anton brings his love for mathematics to the blockchain and manages 2 ETFs in Germany, and I am in charge of product. Our design and engineering team have a proven track record and have shipped many great products together.

Why IronChain?

Digital assets are disruptive both technologically and economically. The underlying blockchain technology is nothing short of revolutionary. It is poised to change the way humanity transacts value, the way companies raise money and the way global organisations work. And best of all — the technology is available to everyone.

However, economically, entry barriers continue to be high. IronChain Capital lowers the economical barrier by taking away the high price tag and eliminating many of the complications associated with investing, such as picking the right digital assets, trading them and having to worry about safekeeping them. With IronChain Capital everyone can become part of the revolution — technologically and economically.
