This form of plan lets taxpayers made investments in funds which are not subjectable to taxes when they are deposited. Instead, these funds are taxed when they are withdrawn. This enables an increased tax-delayed of funds.
“Opening up low-cost cryptocurrencies like Stellar Lumens for IRA accounts will drive adoption due to ease of access. The low cost will incentivize people to buy more of the token, with the IRA firm profiting as well. It seems to be a win-win situation for both the sides due to a fitting use-case,” said Bazza Jewell, an expert from the banking industry regarding the statement.
