CosmosUPS, a cryptocurrency news provider, has released a new guide on crypto IRAs to help investors align with new regulatory guidance.
-- CosmosUPS has released an updated 2025 guide to cryptocurrency inside individual retirement accounts, explaining what a crypto IRA is, who it may suit, and how to begin in the year ahead.

The guide appears as market interest grows, self-directed IRAs remain a viable path for holding digital assets, and large institutions expand crypto-related offerings around retirement accounts.
In plain terms, a crypto IRA is usually a self-directed IRA that permits either direct coin purchases or indirect exposure through funds and ETFs, depending on the custodian. Traditional IRAs may allow tax-deductible contributions with withdrawals taxed as ordinary income, while qualified Roth IRA withdrawals are tax-free.
The 10% early-withdrawal penalty generally applies to distributions before age 59½; after that age, the penalty no longer applies. Gains realized inside any IRA are not taxed annually; for Traditional IRAs taxation occurs at withdrawal, whereas qualified Roth withdrawals remain tax-free.
According to the resource, availability varies meaningfully by provider: some custodians now let investors buy select crypto directly in Traditional, Roth, or rollover IRAs, while others limit access to ETFs or other indirect vehicles, so it’s essential to confirm what a specific institution supports.
CosmosUPS frames crypto IRAs as a potential fit for investors who want long-term digital-asset exposure in a tax-advantaged account and who accept the volatility, custody, liquidity, and regulatory risks unique to the asset class.
Their guide also emphasizes practical setup choices such as deciding between spot holdings and ETF exposure, comparing all-in fees from account setup to custody and trading spreads, and planning for clean record-keeping to avoid prohibited-transaction issues.
The team's recommendations highlight BlockMint as a beginner-friendly option, Broad Financial for flexibility via self-directed IRA structures (rather than as an exchange itself), and CoinIRA for customer support.
The broader message of the CosmosUPS guide is prudent and simple: verify security and custody arrangements, understand total costs, confirm provider’s policy on direct versus indirect exposure, and make sure any allocation aligns with risk tolerance, time horizon, and overall financial plan.
