- Coinbase now offers a Bitcoin fund for big investors outside the U.S.
- It pays 4–8% a year using a low-risk trading method.
- The fund starts on May 1 and is built for safety, not speculation.
Coinbase, one of the world’s largest crypto companies, has just introduced a brand-new investment option for big investors outside the U.S. The company is offering a Bitcoin Yield Fund that promises returns between 4% and 8% every year. This means investors can earn money by simply holding Bitcoin in this fund — and the process is designed to be safe and low-risk.
What Is This Fund All About?
This new fund is not for everyday people but for institutional investors — large companies, hedge funds, and family offices — who are looking to earn steady profits without taking big risks. It works by using a common trading strategy known as cash-and-carry arbitrage. Simply put, Coinbase takes advantage of the price gap between Bitcoin’s current price (spot) and future prices in the market. This method helps generate returns without gambling on price swings.
Why It’s Safer Than Other Crypto Funds
Many crypto funds in the past promised high returns but later collapsed because they were too risky or mismanaged. Coinbase wants to do things differently. This fund does not lend out your Bitcoin, does not trade risky options, and does not use shady platforms. Everything is done carefully and within the rules.
Also, your assets are not held by Coinbase alone. Instead, they are stored by trusted third-party custodians — this means better security and transparency. You can also join or exit the fund once a month, which gives flexibility without locking your money in forever.
Who Can Invest?
This fund is only for institutions outside the United States. It will start accepting investors on May 1, 2025. The first distribution partner for this fund is Aspen Digital, a company based in Abu Dhabi. Their role is to help connect this fund to big investors across Asia and the Middle East, where demand for safe crypto products is growing quickly.
Why This Matters
Coinbase is not just another crypto company — it’s publicly listed, well-known, and regulated. This gives a lot of confidence to big investors who want to enter the crypto space but are still worried about the risks. By launching this fund, Coinbase is helping bridge the gap between traditional finance and the new world of digital assets.
