  • HeightZero provides a platform for financial advisors to plug into as a means of offering their clients exposure to a range of assets. The firm's aim is to make it easier for financial advisors to provide crypto investments through giving access to a basket of different assets, which may otherwise be a complicated and time consuming process for such entities to invest in themselves.

    "We have found a lot of advisors would like to offer a more sophisticated strategy, but they're not able to do that. They're not doing the analysis of the coins and they don't have the time or the expertise to do so," co-founder of HeightZero A.J. Nary said.

    The first client to sign up to the DLCS-powered offering is Florida-based advisor Lyons Wealth Management.
