Why Crypto Belongs in Your Advisory Now.
Six market developments that make crypto an unavoidable conversation with your clients.
Institutional Adoption
Spot Bitcoin and Spot Ether ETFs are now tradable in the US and across much of Europe. BlackRock, Fidelity & Co. are invested. Your clients are reading about it.
Regulatory Maturity
With MiCAR, the EU has created its first harmonised legal framework for crypto-assets and CASPs. The argument of legal uncertainty no longer holds.
Demand from Your Existing Client Base
Around one in five investors under 40 in the DACH region holds or plans a crypto investment. Without an answer, you risk losing mandates to neo-brokers and crypto exchanges.
The Facebook Effect
It's not just younger investors. Demand for crypto is surprisingly high among the 50+ generation as well.
Portfolio Diversification
Crypto-assets have historically shown low correlation to traditional asset classes — an argument your clients already know from the financial press.
NFTs and Digital Art Are Coming Back
After the 2022 market correction and subsequent cleansing, digital art and NFTs are re-emerging as a serious asset sub-class.
