Previously awarded in SCF #31, this funding empowers Normal to deliver seamless global onboarding, local fiat support, and the most cost-effective way to invest in the total cryptocurrency market. Our mission is to make crypto investing accessible, efficient, and inclusive for users worldwide—making crypto normal, #BetterOnStellar.
Normal Crypto Indexes Live On Normal Legacy
Normal Crypto Indexes offers a compelling option for U.S. investors looking to diversify their cryptocurrency portfolios through the Normal Legacy app. The platform allows users to connect their exchange accounts and access a range of crypto index funds, including the Normal Top 5, Top 10, Top 15, and total market Normal Crypto Index, as well as specialized indices like DeFi, AI/Data, RWA (Real World Assets), DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks), GameFi, and Meme Index. These indices provide exposure to various sectors of the crypto market, aiming to reduce risk through diversification while capturing growth in top-performing assets. Additionally, the ability to customize your own crypto index based on preferred cryptocurrencies and ratios is a unique feature, catering to both individual and business investors.
Revolutionizing Crypto Investing with Normal’s Protocol
Normal is building an investment-layer protocol on Stellar’s blockchain, enabling users and institutions to trade diversified crypto index fund tokens from a single interface. Our protocol supports a range of indexes, including the Normal Top 100 Crypto Index, AI Index, RWA Index, DeFi Index, Meme Index, and customizable options tailored to individual preferences. Each index represents a transparently rebalanced, fully tradable basket of assets, simplifying crypto investing while maximizing satisfaction and performance.
Meeting Global Demand for Accessible Crypto Solutions
With a proven track record of serving over 2,000 users and processing $350,000 in volume through our legacy app in the United States, Normal is poised for global expansion. Our protocol has already attracted over $10 million in committed institutional volume, with strong demand across South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. Leveraging Stellar’s robust on- and off-ramping technology, Normal is ready to launch its mainnet, delivering unparalleled accessibility to crypto markets worldwide.
Powered by Stellar’s Ecosystem
