The answers to your questions

Answers to the common questions about New Market Trading: how the platform works, who holds custody, returns and risk, regulatory status, and how to get started.

New Market Trading

  • NMT is an onchain wealth management service. We open your own investment account on the blockchain, then our team builds a crypto portfolio inside it. You keep custody of your assets the entire time. We hold trading permissions only, which means we can execute strategy in your account but we can never withdraw your funds.

  • Decentralized finance, or DeFi, means financial services that run as software directly on the blockchain instead of through banks and brokers. Trading, lending, and yield products all exist onchain as programs anyone can access. When your Bitcoin earns yield in your NMT account, that's DeFi at work: your assets are placed in onchain products that pay you directly, with no institution in the middle.

  • Onchain means on the blockchain itself, which is the primary market where crypto assets actually live. Exchanges like Coinbase are the secondary market: a business standing between you and the blockchain, showing you only what they choose to list. When your account is onchain, it sits directly on the market, so every asset and yield product that exists is available to it.

  • Most investors hold a crypto portfolio that is disabled, and they don't know it. They buy on exchanges, which list assets late (after the early growth has happened) and pay little or no yield on holdings. The alternative, managing a portfolio onchain yourself, is a full-time job in a market that never closes. NMT solves both: one 15-minute onboarding connects your capital directly to the blockchain, and our team handles the strategy and execution. You get primary-market access without the primary-market workload.

  • Coinbase and JP Morgan are custodians. They hold your assets, and you choose from whatever they list, which means late listings and little to no yield. A crypto hedge fund pools your money into the manager's fund; you wire your capital away and hope. Doing it yourself gives you full onchain access, but now you're the portfolio manager, the research desk, and the security team, in a 24/7 market. NMT combines all three advantages: full onchain access, you keep custody, and an expert team executing the strategy. The chart below breaks down the key differences:

  • Five things. One, a done-for-you portfolio build: positioned for the bull run while turning your idle capital into assets that earn yield. Two, ongoing expert support: accumulation, profit-taking, aggressive and defensive rotation, rebalancing, all handled. Three, world-class education: the comprehensive crypto education that will teach you our investing strategies from scratch. Four, your own Associate: a named person who knows your account and answers the phone. Five, your time back: less than one hour a month. You look at your dashboard and call us when you want to talk.

How it Works

  • A Safe is your onchain investment account. It's a smart account built on technology from Safe.Global, the industry standard that already secures over $60 billion in crypto assets. Your Safe belongs to you: only you can withdraw from it. What makes it powerful is that you can grant limited, defined permissions to others, which is how you delegate trading to our team without ever giving up custody.

  • Your Associate is the named person who looks after your account. They walk you through onboarding, explain what's in your portfolio and why, deliver your education, and pick up the phone when you call. Everyone gets direct access to a human who knows their account.

  • You apply, and if you qualify, you book a free consultation to match the service to your goals. Onboarding takes about 15 minutes: create your account and deposit funds. Your portfolio is built within 7 days. From there, our team handles it as market conditions change, and your job is to check your dashboard and call your Associate whenever you have questions.

  • Yes to both. Your assets sit in your own account, and withdrawal rights belong to you alone. The trading permission you grant our team is revocable any day you choose. There is no lockup and no exit process to negotiate, because we never hold your money in the first place.

Security & Custody

  • No. Your funds live in your Safe, which you own and control. Our access is a permissioned module scoped to trading only: we can execute strategy inside your account, and we cannot withdraw or redirect funds. You get the benefit of your portfolio being built and adjusted by experts, without the risk of anyone running away with your crypto.

  • Your Safe runs on Safe.Global smart contracts, the industry standard securing over $60 billion in crypto assets. The contracts that control what our team can do in your account were audited by Consensys Diligence in June 2026, and the full report is public. And the permission structure itself is a security feature: trading rights and withdrawal rights are separated at the contract level, so no one but you can move funds out.

  • A Safe is a smart account, not a single-key wallet, so losing one signing key does not mean losing your funds. Signing keys can be replaced and rotated on a Safe account, and we help you set up your signing and recovery arrangements during onboarding so a lost device never becomes a lost portfolio.

Returns & Risk

  • Two structural reasons. First, you're buying in the primary market. Exchanges list assets after the early growth has happened: Solana was available onchain at $0.95 in April 2020, and listed on Coinbase over a year later at $44.45. Primary-market investors had access to that entire move; exchange investors didn't. Second, your holdings work. On an exchange, most assets sit idle earning nothing. Onchain, the same assets can be put to work in yield products. Add cycle management on top (growth assets in the bull, yield and protection in the bear) and the same capital simply has more ways to perform.

  • Two main ones. Market risk: crypto prices go down as well as up, and drawdowns in this asset class can be severe. Our cycle-based strategy is designed to manage that risk, not eliminate it. Smart contract risk: the smart contracts underlying your investment account could in principle fail. We mitigate this by building on Safe.Global contracts, the industry standard already securing over $60 billion, and by using established, audited protocols for yield products. You should also know that yield rates are variable: they move with market conditions and are not fixed.

Getting Started

  • Onboarding takes about 15 minutes. You don't need any crypto experience: your education and your Associate cover that. Respectfully, if you're hunting the next thousand-x meme coin or want guaranteed overnight returns, this service is not for you. It's built for people who have already won in their career or business and want to allocate a portion of their net worth to this asset class intelligently.

  • Onboarding takes about 15 minutes. Your portfolio is built within 7 days of funding.

  • You stop. Your assets are in your own account, so there's nothing to redeem and no one to ask. Revoke our trading permissions, withdraw your assets, and walk away any day you choose. We will continue educating you so you can get the same results as if we were still doing it for you.

  • Everything we do happens onchain, in public, and our education tells you exactly how we build these portfolios, so yes, in principle. In practice, this is a 24/7 market that moves at 3am on a Sunday, the research never stops, and the hardest trades to execute are the ones involving your own money. Most people who try it buy high, sell low, and miss the entries they had already researched. The most expensive thing in crypto is doing nothing. The second most expensive is doing it yourself. If you have the time and the temperament, our education will genuinely equip you. If you don't, that's exactly what the service is for.
