Advisers show a significant shift to embracing cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrencies were first added to the survey in 2018 when 1.4% of advisers indicated they were currently using or recommending them to clients. That percentage dropped to below 1% in both 2019 and 2020 but increased to 14% in 2021.
According to the survey results:
More than a quarter (26%) of advisers indicated in the 2021 survey that they plan to increase their use/recommendation of cryptocurrencies over the next 12 months. And 49% of advisers indicated that, in the last six months, clients have asked them about investing in cryptocurrencies, up from 17% in 2020.
Onramp Invest CEO Tyrone Ross commented: “It is clear from these results that we’ve reached an inflection point in the wealth management space. Advisers are now faced with a client base that demands knowledge, access, and advice from their adviser on cryptoassets.”
