# Meria > Investing in cryptocurrencies to benefit your assets Meria is a cryptocurrency investment platform regulated as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider under MiCA. It offers staking, lending, managed portfolios and DCA tools for individual investors, businesses, and financial advisors. Meria is a cryptocurrency investment platform and licensed Crypto-Asset Service Provider regulated under the European MiCA framework. It lets individuals and businesses buy, hold, and swap digital assets, generate yield through staking and lending, and automate purchases through dollar-cost averaging. The platform also offers managed investment mandates for users who prefer a fully delegated portfolio, and serves both retail investors and institutional partners. Meria operates validator infrastructure across more than thirty blockchains, allowing it to support both non-custodial delegation and dedicated white-label validators for institutional clients. Client assets are held under strict segregation from the company's own balance sheet, consistent with its regulatory status. This infrastructure underpins both its consumer-facing staking products and its institutional staking services. Its offerings span a retail investment platform, a dedicated staking provider service for custodians, exchanges, funds and asset managers, and an API that lets institutional partners integrate staking infrastructure directly into their own products. A separate offering supports financial advisors seeking to provide cryptocurrency investment options to their clients. Meria is used by retail investors, companies managing treasury allocations, financial advisors, and institutional partners integrating staking and custody services. - Type: Company - Sector: Finance - Status: Active - Founded: 2017-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/meria ## Products - [Cryptocurrency Investment Platform](https://thegrid.id/profiles/meria): Cryptocurrency Investment Platform is a centralized exchange and investment platform for buying, selling, and swapping digital assets.
