Degen

To celebrate $DEGEN airdrop day, I wrote a post about how to make the most of the tax liability that comes with an airdrop. If you're clever, you can turn it into a tax-free investment into crypto assets! Read my article for details.

What other crypto IRA services are people using besides Alto IRA?

Here are a few others. I think the most popular one is iTrustCapital, but when I looked into it some years ago they were very expensive (took a fixed percentage of capital under deposit each year). This may have changed.

On Alto, you just pay the regular Coinbase trading fee. It's like a tax-advantaged Coinbase account (but you can't withdraw, of course).

I wouldn't even say "glorified". I think they're very basic CEXes with limited features and high fees. Not great for frequent trading, but if you buy and hold, and maybe trade the 4-year cycle (sell near the top, buy back in near the bottom, repeat) the spread isn't much of an issue.

The handful of crypto IRAs I've tried in the past were basically glorified CEXes with very unfavorable spreads.

Feels like someone's gotta have made an IRA wrapper for regular self-custody EOA wallets by now. Or maybe a smart wallet with some clever account-abstraction rules baked in so you can't improperly withdraw.
