Shrimpy is a crypto-focused portfolio management and automated trading platform designed for passive, long-term investors who want diversified exposure across multiple cryptocurrencies and exchanges. Founded in 2018 by Benthos Labs Inc and acquired by Bitcoin IRA in November 2023, Shrimpy connects to 16+ major crypto exchanges — including Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, KuCoin, and Gemini — giving users a single unified dashboard to monitor and manage all their holdings without switching between platforms.
The platform's core feature is its automated portfolio rebalancing engine, which continuously tracks target asset allocations and executes trades to maintain your desired balance without manual effort. Beyond rebalancing, Shrimpy lets users construct custom crypto index funds, configure dollar-cost averaging (DCA) schedules, implement stop-loss rules, and backtest strategies against more than five years of historical data across all supported exchanges. No trade commissions are charged on top of subscription fees.
Shrimpy's social trading feature is its most distinctive differentiator in the crowded crypto bot market. Users can browse top-performing traders and copy their portfolios with a single click — any rebalancing or allocation changes made by the leader are automatically mirrored in followers' accounts. Portfolio leaders earn $4 per follower per month, creating a built-in incentive for experienced investors to maintain and share winning strategies publicly.
For developers, Shrimpy offers a universal crypto exchange trading API with REST and WebSocket endpoints, plus Python and Node.js SDKs. Security is a clear priority: all exchange API keys are encrypted using hardware security modules (HSMs), with read and trade-only permissions granted — no withdrawal access — and the platform has maintained a clean security record since launch. The web-only interface (no native mobile app) keeps the experience focused on desktop portfolio management rather than active trading.
