Capital will be used for Titan’s platform and investment products, according to a press release.

Additionally, Titan’s cryptocurrency component will become the inaugural manager of crypto assets portfolios for U.S.-based, investors with the initial exception of people living in New York.

Cryptocurrency, which is otherwise known as digital currency may be utilized to pay for purchases or services rendered, according to NerdWallet. Bitcoin is one popular example.

Titan is an extensive yet inclusive operation which was founded by Clayton Gardner, Maxwell Bernardy, and Joe Percoco. It allows investors to get started with just $100 and is mobile-friendly. Titan has experienced 500% growth within a year, according to a press release.

“There’s been a reawakening of active investing. But traditional investment management vehicles remain the tech-equivalents of VHS tapes. The industry needs a new operating system,” Percoco, co-founder and co-CEO, said in an announcement.

Investing seems to be on the minds of many during an interesting time. Wall Street is anticipating that companies will have reports of smash hit revenue for April-June’s quarter because of pandemic improvements. They have allowed for greater purchases from consumers, according to The Associated Press.
