Crypto.com Introduces Whale Baskets – A New Way to Mirror Legendary Investors With One Tap

For many everyday investors, navigating the stock market means juggling research, monitoring economic trends, and trying to keep pace with seasoned professionals who live and breathe financial strategy. But what if you could simply follow the same investment moves as the world’s most successful investors  – without subscription fees, fund lockups, or complexity?

Crypto.com has introduced a new Stocks feature called Whale Baskets, designed to make that possible. The tool allows users to mirror the publicly disclosed portfolios of influential investors, corporate insiders, and even members of Congress. It offers a streamlined way to observe how experienced market participants allocate their capital – and optionally follow along with a single tap.

What Are Whale Baskets?

Whale Baskets are curated collections of publicly traded stocks that mirror the holdings of high-profile investors, assembled directly from filings such as SEC Form 13F disclosures and reports required under the STOCK Act. These regulatory filings offer a transparent look at how industry leaders deploy their capital, and Crypto.com converts that data into dynamic, automatically updating baskets.

Crypto.com currently features 11 notable figures whose strategies can be followed:

• Warren Buffett
• Nancy Pelosi
• Jensen Huang
• Bill Gates
• Brad Gerstner
• David Tepper
• Dan Meuser
• Bill Ackman
• Paul Singer
• Dan Crenshaw
• Josh Gottheimer

Each basket reflects the strategy, risk profile, and sector focus of the investor behind it, giving users a unique glimpse into different investment philosophies.

How Whale Baskets Work

Whale Baskets track investment activity using structured public disclosures.

• Investment managers are tracked through quarterly 13F filings and insider transaction reports.
• Politicians are tracked via STOCK Act disclosures, which report trades over US$1,000 within 45 days.
• Call options result in the underlying stock being added to the basket.
• Put options and short positions are excluded.
• If a whale exits all positions in a stock, its allocation is redirected into treasury bill ETFs or short-term money market ETFs.

Whenever new filings or disclosures appear, Crypto.com updates the basket’s allocation and notifies anyone holding it.

Users can follow the updates with a tap or decline them and retain their existing allocation. Fractional shares are supported where available, and everything is presented transparently in the app, including exact weights and holdings.

Investor Protections and Funding Options

Whale Baskets are built to be accessible and secure:

• SIPC protection covers all Stocks holdings.
• Flexible funding allows users to purchase baskets using USD or by converting crypto.
• Low minimums start at just US$50.
• No subscription fees or commissions are charged for buying or maintaining a basket.
• Investors can potentially enhance returns by enrolling baskets in the Securities Lending Program.

How to Buy a Whale Basket

Purchasing a basket is straightforward:

1. Tap Stocks > Whale Baskets in the Crypto.com App.
2. Select an investor’s basket.
3. Enter the USD amount you want to invest.
4. Choose your payment method — USD balance or crypto conversion.
5. Review the orders and confirm.

Orders placed outside market hours are automatically queued for the next opening at 9:30 am ET.

Keeping Up With Whale Moves

Once you hold a Whale Basket, the Crypto.com App becomes your direct line to the investor’s publicly reported activity. Every time a new filing or trade disclosure is released, the platform updates the basket’s allocation and sends you an alert. From there, you can review each proposed buy or sell order, compare it to the previous holdings, and decide whether to follow the change.

If you accept, the adjustment is executed automatically at market open. If you decline, your basket simply stays as it is. Even if you opt out of one update, you will still be notified the next time the whale takes action. This approach gives investors complete visibility into how seasoned professionals adjust their portfolios over time, while keeping full control in the user’s hands.

Who Whale Baskets Are Designed For

Whale Baskets are particularly appealing to investors who appreciate simplicity but still want exposure to thoughtful, research-driven portfolios. Beginners may find them helpful as a structured way to learn from the decisions of established market figures, without needing to sift through dense financial filings themselves. 

More experienced investors might use them as a source of new ideas or as a complement to their existing diversification strategies. Crypto-first users gain an easy on-ramp into equities, while busy professionals benefit from a system that monitors updates automatically and alerts them only when decisions need to be made. In every case, the feature provides a learning opportunity alongside a practical investment tool.

Conclusion

Whale Baskets offer a practical way for everyday investors to observe and mirror the investment strategies of highly influential market participants, all within a simple, transparent, and fee-free framework. For investors looking to learn from the market’s biggest movers while staying firmly in charge of their own decisions, Whale Baskets provides a compelling new option within the Crypto.com ecosystem.
