Stockpile, the simplest way to invest in stocks, today announced kids crypto trading on its platform, making it the first and only place where kids can invest in 30 different cryptocurrencies. Stockpile is designed to help bring the future of finance to kids by providing an opportunity to make investing in crypto as easy to invest in as traditional stocks.
“We believe crypto is the inevitable future of currency,” said Stockpile CEO Victor Wang. “It’s important to us that we make it easy and accessible to everyone, especially kids. We want everyone to understand their investing options and truly prepare for the future.”
Kids are often the first in a family to learn about new technologies and crypto is no exception. In a recent survey of 1,000 parents and teens, 55% of teens reported their interest in cryptocurrency. And parents are the key to kids learning more about crypto and finances in general. The same study found that 68% of kids would be more likely to start investing with the help of a parent or guardian. Stockpile’s “Kids Choose. Parents Approve. (™)” model for its custodial accounts gives kids the opportunity to lead their own financial education by searching for and initiating trades of stocks and cryptocurrencies, and builds in teaching and learning moments for parents and kids throughout the investing process.
Knowing that it’s not always easy to talk to your kids about crypto (especially if a parent is a novice themselves), Stockpile has created a set of conversation starters meant to help parents initiate and sustain conversations with their kids about crypto and investing in general. These conversation starters (found here), help parents learn more about crypto and equip them with topics that will keep kids engaged in conversation.
“Parents are understandably skeptical of crypto, especially for their kids. It’s a brand new type of investment and until recently, it’s been difficult for anyone to participate,” said Wang. “But we added crypto to our platform to make it accessible and easy for anyone to learn. We don’t want people to miss out just because they aren’t finance experts!”
Stockpile is a subscription-based investing and learning platform, available for $4.95/month. For more information, visit Stockpile.com or contact press@stockpile.com.
