Mudrex – The start-up story built on the power of friendship by four IITians

Mudrex is a US-headquartered and Bengaluru-based fintech start-up launched in early 2018. It is a dynamic platform that has revolutionized the face of cryptocurrency investing with its product gamut, simplifying the journey of retail investors. Mudrex is a Y-combinator crypto platform. It was co-founded by Edul Patel (CEO), Rohit Goyal (Vice President-DeFi), Prince Arora, and Alankar Saxena (CTO), who have graduated from IIT Bombay. Mudrex is an all-in-one global crypto investment platform designed to benefit retail investors to earn better risk-adjusted returns in a volatile market in the long term.

Story of Mudrex

The founders of the company have always been passionate about technology innovation and how it is evolving and benefiting people across the globe. They were fascinated learning about Bitcoin and blockchain technology when they heard about it in 2012. All four of them started exploring and learning about it in groups. They realized that this innovative technology could revolutionize finance for all. After putting in some solid research over the next few years, they came up with ‘Mudrex’, which comes from two words called Mudra and Exchange.

Journey of Mudrex Towards Democratizing Crypto Investments

Initially, the founders started with managing their investments in crypto and building wealth for themselves. However, they soon realized the potential of blockchain and crypto to create a level playing field to build wealth for all investors. That’s when the team of young minds decided to aid retail investors who cover a significant portion of the investment world but are often overlooked. To make crypto investment easily accessible to them, they built Mudrex. Today, the goal of the company is to simplify crypto investments as much as possible for retail or everyday investors.


Products & Services

The company advocates the idea of investing across themes and sectors, giving rise to its flagship product called ‘Coin Sets’. Through Coin Sets, investors can hold different tokens around the theme across the crypto ecosystem. It’s entirely an automated platform which offers hassle-free onboarding of users. Investors can start their crypto journey with as low as $5. The platform also allows them to invest in Coin Sets regularly through its SIP feature.

The in-house Mudrex team designs and curates these Coin Sets with over a decade of fund management experience. They also rebalance the tokens monthly for better risk-adjusted returns. The platform follows an extensive curation process similar to international investment banks. Funds undergo testing on various parameters before being listed on the site. A ‘performance score’ based on historical data of each crypto basket is showcased to aid user decision-making.

NASSCOM Emerge 50 awards

Mudrex has won NASSCOM Emerge 50 awards for its premier product Coin Sets in the year 2021. The company has also won Technology Excellence Award under the category ‘Outstanding Product or Service’ (FinTech) for Coin Sets in the year 2022.

Another major offering, ‘Crypto-as-a-service’, one-of-a-kind API-based enterprise tech. The service enables traditional and crypto-specific brokers, portfolio management services, fintech, etc., to provide reliable and secure crypto investment products to their user base.

Mudrex has also unveiled its new product called Vault recently, where investors can park their money and earn 10% interest on their investments. It is a multi-dimensional company that caters to the varied needs of all its users.

The company aims to provide individuals access to low-risk and high-yield investment funds reflected through our global users. Most of these users are from India, while the rest spreads across the US, Europe, and Southeast Asian markets. The company has raised nearly $21 Million until now since its inception.

Why is Mudrex Unique?

Unlike other exchanges, Mudrex is not a trading platform, but a global crypto-investing platform, which sets it apart from others. The company currently has close to 1 million users and has recorded 2,400% growth in the first quarter of 2022 becoming the world’s largest crypto index investing platform.

The Quest 2 offers lower specs than Meta’s latest headset, true, but it also costs half the price. | Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge In case you haven’t heard, the Meta Quest 2’s $249 holiday pricing is sticking around for good. That’s a natural progression for the second-gen VR headset, which launched in 2020 and was recently outclassed by the newer Meta Quest 3. What’s more, if you pick up a 128GB Quest 2 at Walmart right now, you’ll receive a $50 Meta Store credit to help you build up your game library, essentially making it a $200 purchase. At launch, the Quest 2 was an excellent little device thanks to its standalone nature. As far as mainstream VR headsets go, it remains one of the easiest and most affordable devices to pick up and play, especially since you don’t have to worry about external depth sensors and wires. You won’t be able to engage in unique mixed-reality experiences as you can with the Quest 3 — the last-gen model doesn’t feature full-color passthrough cameras, after all — but the Quest 2 retails for half the price and still supports a vast majority of the same titles, albeit often at lower specs. Plus, Meta has continued to roll out regular updates for its entry-level headset over the last year or so, boosting GPU speeds and CPU power, with the promise of more support to come. Read our Meta Quest 2 review. Three things are normally true about Bang and Olufsen products: they produce really good sound, they look outstanding, and you’ll pay a healthy premium to own them. But you don’t have to compromise your budget thanks to Amazon’s current deal on the Beosound Explore, which drops the portable speaker down to an all-time low of $119.78 (about $80 off) in black. B&O’s cylindrical, Bluetooth 5.2 speaker sends sound in every direction, and it’s made to withstand the elements. It looks the part thanks to the included carabiner, and you can trust it won’t whimper in the elements given it’s built to survive drops of up to 1.5 meters and rated IP67 for dust and water resistance. I’ve used the Explore, and while I baby my gear too much to know whether it reliably can survive worst-case scenarios, I can confirm it feels as rugged and substantial as it looks. You can also rest assured its 1.8-inch drivers emanate impressive audio. The default sound signature doesn’t provide room-thumping bass, but if that’s what you like, you can dial in your preferred sound signature with the help of an onboard equalizer. It should last for up to 27 hours, too, and supports stereo sound when paired with a second Explore. More great weekend deals to consider Building out a new game room?

Illustration: The Verge WhatsApp is rolling out a custom sticker maker for users with iOS 17 or later. While you can already make stickers by dragging and dropping images from your gallery into the app, this takes things a step further by letting you draw on top of them, add text, or slap on another sticker. To create a sticker from an existing image, open the app’s sticker tray, select create sticker, and then choose an image from your gallery. From there, you can proceed to customize your sticker by choosing a cutout, adding text, and drawing on it. You can also edit any previously made stickers by opening the sticker tray, long-pressing on the sticker you want to change, and then choosing edit sticker. Image: WhatsApp You can add text and drawings to your custom stickers. WhatsApp for the web already has a sticker-making tool, but getting to customize them directly on the mobile app is a lot more practical. The only downside is that you can only edit — not make — stickers if your device runs anything older than iOS 17. Meanwhile, users on Android can only view and react to custom stickers for now, but at least they can try making AI-generated stickers instead.
