A New Way to Invest is Delivering Big Results

VCs back startups for outsized returns. Everyday investors wait. But rule changes fixed that. Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 people averaged a $2,370 stake. Today? Its valuation is up 89,900%. No wonder 10K+ people and the investors behind Uber and Venmo are taking the chance on Pacaso. Founded by a former Zillow exec, they’ve made $110M+ in gross profit to date.

Why Fixed Deposits & Land Aren’t Enough Anymore in Sri Lanka — and Why the Rich Are Buying Crypto

You know how in Sri Lanka everyone says:
“Put your money in a fixed deposit, or buy a piece of land… it’s the safest way.”

That advice worked for years.
But now? Not really.

Here’s why 👇

  • Fixed deposits look good on paper — 9%, 10%. But when you compare it with inflation, you’re actually losing value.

  • Land is great, yes. But it’s slow and hard to sell. You can’t call your broker and sell half your land next week if you need cash.

  • Stocks? The Sri Lankan market is tiny and unstable.

That’s why many wealthy Sri Lankans — doctors, business owners, executives — are quietly looking outside.

And you know what they’re adding?
👉 Crypto.

Not hype coins. Not gambling.
But structured portfolios where crypto is one part of the mix.

Why?

  • It grows faster than deposits.

  • You can sell anytime (liquid).

  • It gives global exposure — your wealth isn’t trapped in one country or currency.

That’s exactly why I built SL Trading Academy.
I’ve already helped 1000+ Sri Lankans start their crypto journey safely.
