Core offering

BOTS Capital is a Dutch fintech platform that provides automated investing through AI-driven trading bots and multi-asset funds. Users access algorithmic trading strategies via mobile and web apps, with three risk profiles (Profile 1, 2, 3) for cryptocurrency trading and three multi-asset funds (Protector I, Builder II, Visionary III) managed through an AIFMD-licensed partner. The platform also offers a corporate bond product and a Bot Creators marketplace for third-party strategy developers.

Product overview

BOTS Capital is a Dutch fintech investment platform that provides a unified ecosystem of automated investing products. The core offering consists of the BOTS mobile app and web application, which enable users to access algorithmic trading bots through the BOTS Exchange that connects to major crypto exchanges (Binance, Kraken, Coinbase) and DeFi platforms (UniSwap, SushiSwap, Curve Finance). The platform offers cryptocurrency trading services via three risk profiles (Profiles 1-3) using market-neutral strategies, alongside a Buy & Sell Service for stablecoin transactions. BOTS Capital has expanded into traditional finance through three multi-asset funds managed by Elite Fund Management B.V. — the Protector I Fund (defensive, 7% target), Builder II Fund (balanced, 12% target), and Visionary III Fund (offensive, 15% target) — all powered by the proprietary BOTS Selection Framework® using AI and big data. The platform also offers a corporate bond product with fixed returns up to 6.8% as part of its buy-and-build acquisition strategy. Additional services include custody through Stichting Bots Custodian, recurring deposit automation, and a Bot Creators platform for third-party strategy developers.
