Trading crypto in an IRA is simple to set up and only takes a few minutes.
Step 1: Make sure you have an IRA open with Public, held through our clearing firm, Apex. An active IRA with Apex is required because it enables the transfer of cash to and from Zerohash when crypto is bought or sold.
Step 2: Review and agree to the terms and conditions for both Zerohash and Alto Trust if you have not already done so.
Once your IRA is open and crypto trading privileges have been approved and enabled, you’ll be ready to begin trading in your account.
