Crypto.com Launches Whale Basket Copy-Trading for Retail Investors

Crypto.com has launched a new copy-trading feature called Whale Baskets that allows retail investors to replicate the stock portfolios of notable investors such as Warren Buffett, Nancy Pelosi, Dan Meuser, and Bill Ackman without subscription fees. Users can invest starting from $50, using either USD or cryptocurrency, and receive real-time notifications when the underlying investors adjust their holdings, enabling one-tap portfolio updates or customized allocations. The feature is based on publicly disclosed portfolios, including 13F filings for large investors and STOCK Act disclosures for politicians, and is available to U.S. users with actual stock ownership protected by SIPC. Meanwhile, in the broader crypto space, Changpeng Zhao (CZ) highlighted the recent activity of a 14-year dormant Bitcoin whale wallet holding over 80,000 BTC, underscoring the significant returns early Bitcoin adopters have seen and the ongoing dynamics of large holders re-engaging with the market. Additionally, new wallet solutions like Mongwedi are emerging, offering self-custodial, cross-chain crypto management with privacy and interoperability at the forefront, aiming to enhance accessibility and usability globally. Together, these developments reflect a growing trend of enabling retail investors to engage with both traditional stocks and cryptocurrencies through innovative, user-friendly platforms.
