Investitute Launches Crypto Learning Platform with Jon Najarian

Investitute, LLC, the industry leading options education firm co-founded by CNBC Contributors Jon (DRJ) Najarian and Pete Najarian, today announced the addition of cryptocurrency education to its existing online learning platform. The move reflects Investitute’s belief that cryptocurrencies are not just the latest fad, but an important new trading opportunity worthy of investors’ attention.

“Cryptocurrencies have become an asset class every investor should explore and understand,” said Jon Najarian. “It’s the most exciting opportunity to trade or invest in since the launch of the US options markets in the 1970s.”

Titled ‘Crypto Basics’, Investitute’s new education offering will cover the basics of cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, altcoins, and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). Najarian revealed that rapidly rising interest in cryptocurrencies among Investitute students and the investor community as a whole spurred the decision.

“Our mission is to provide personalized education for self-directed investors so that they can gain access to the thought process, education, and strategy once reserved only for professional & institutional investors,” said Najarian. “The plain fact of the matter is that cryptocurrencies have now commanded the attention of professional and individual investors alike, so it’s a topic that cannot be ignored.”

While Investitute was initially founded to cover all aspects of options trading, going forward the investment educator plans to introduce a wide variety of online courses and webinars covering all aspects of cryptocurrency trading, to provide the same personalized education experience for cryptocurrency trading as it already does for options trading.
