Australia-based micro-investment startup Raiz has planned to bring Bitcoin (BTC) fund options to its users, Cointelegraph suggests.
Raiz is a fintech startup which offers micro-investment services to its 300,000 registered accounts. It ‘rounds up’ the spare change from the users’ purchases to invest it in a set of investment products, generally comprising exchange traded funds (ETFs).

The Bitcoin retail fund is meant to only allocate 5% to a direct Bitcoin exposure, with the remainder composed of ETFs.
