On April 17, digital asset service and wealth management platform Abra announced the launch of Abra prime for institutions and Abra Private for private clients after the U.S. SEC approved its subsidiary Abra Capital Management LP (ACM) to operate as a registered investment advisor (RIA). As an investment advisor registered with the U.S. SEC, Abra will provide customized cryptocurrency investment solutions through a separately managed account model (SMA).
The Abra platform integrates OTC trading (including spot and options), lending, pledge and yield services, and asset management into one product, based on institutional risk management and supported by DeFi expertise. Abra Private provides customized solutions for private clients, family offices, and trusts, while Abra Prime's customer base includes hedge funds, venture capital, crypto infrastructure companies, and other institutional investors.
