Theya Introduces Direct-To-Wallet Bitcoin Purchases

Theya, a multisig bitcoin vault maker, made an announcement yesterday regarding the launch of a new feature that allows US users to purchase bitcoin directly through their app and have it sent straight to self-custody via hardware wallets such as Ledger, Trezor, Foundation, and ColdCard, or through its multisig vaults.

Instant Funding and Low Fees

This unique feature not only offers instant funding and low fees but also eliminates the hassle of transferring bitcoin from an exchange to self-custody.

Key Benefits of the New Feature

Sriram Bhargav Karnati, co-founder of Theya, expressed excitement about the new feature in a press release shared with Bitcoin Magazine. He mentioned that direct bitcoin purchases into self-custodial storage remove the complexity of transfers from exchanges, providing users with unparalleled flexibility in acquiring and storing their Bitcoin.

One of the key benefits of this feature is the quick identity verification process, ensuring fast and secure bitcoin purchases. Additionally, it eliminates the need for address whitelisting, which involves obtaining permission from an exchange to send bitcoin to a specific address.

Payment Options and Partnerships

The new feature currently utilizes the ACH payment system for bitcoin purchases. Theya also plans to introduce a wire transfer option for larger purchases. To enable ACH transfers, Theya has partnered with Cybrid, a regulated payment platform registered as a Money Service Business (MSB) in the US. Cybrid manages the Know Your Customer (KYC) process, relieving Theya from the need to collect, store, or process customers' personal information.

Empowering Users with Choices

Karnati emphasized that the integration of ACH transfers is a significant step towards making Bitcoin acquisition more accessible and secure. He stated that Theya is committed to empowering users with choices in managing their Bitcoin and developing tools that simplify self-custody, making it powerful and user-friendly.

How To

How to Open a Precious Metal IRA

Precious metals are one of the most sought-after investment vehicles today. Precious metals are a popular investment option because they provide investors with higher returns than traditional bonds and stocks. It is worth your time to research and plan before you invest in precious metals. Here are the basics to help you open your precious metal IRA account.

There are two main types in precious metal accounts. These are physical precious metals and paper gold or silver certificates (GSCs). Each type has its advantages and disadvantages. GSCs can be traded and access physical precious metals accounts, which offer diversification benefits. To learn more about these options, keep reading below.

Physical precious metals accounts are comprised of bullion and bars as well as coins. This option offers diversification benefits but also has some drawbacks. For instance, the costs associated with buying, storing, and selling precious physical metals are quite expensive. Their large size makes it difficult to transport them between locations.

However, paper silver and gold certificates are relatively cheap. They are also easily available and can be traded online. They're a great choice for people who don’t want precious metals. But, they're not as well-diversified as physical counterparts. Also, since they're backed by government agencies such as the U.S. Mint, the value of these assets could decrease if inflation rates rise.

You should choose the account that best suits your financial needs before you open a precious-metal IRA. Before doing so, consider the following factors:

  1. Your risk tolerance level
  2. Your preferred asset allocation strategy
  3. How much time will you invest?
  4. Consider whether you will use the funds to trade short-term.
  5. Which type of tax treatment would you prefer
  6. Which precious metal(s), you would like to invest in
  7. How liquid do you need your portfolio to be
  8. Your retirement date
  9. Where to store precious metals
  10. Your income level
  11. Your current savings rate
  12. Your future goals
  13. Your net worth
  14. Any special circumstances that may affect your decision
  15. Your overall financial situation
  16. Your preference between paper and physical assets
  17. You are willing to take chances
  18. Your ability and willingness to accept losses
  19. Your budget constraints
  20. Financial independence is your goal
  21. Your investment experience
  22. Precious metals are familiar to you
  23. Your knowledge of precious Metals

Once you've determined which type of precious metal IRA best suits your needs, you can proceed to open an account with a reputable dealer. These companies can also be found online, through word-of mouth or referrals.

Once you've opened your precious metal IRA, you'll need to determine how much money you want to put into it. Each precious metal IRA account requires a minimum initial deposit. Some accounts will only accept $100, others will allow for you to invest as high as $50,000.

As mentioned above, you can decide how much money you want to invest in your precious metal IRA. You might choose to make a larger initial investment if your goal is to build wealth over the long-term. On the other hand, if you're planning on investing smaller sums of money every month, a lower initial deposit might work better for you.
