Bitwise Research Director Ryan Rasmussen: 60% of 400 Financial Advisors Plan to Allocate to Crypto Within a Year

Bitwise Research Director Ryan Rasmussen said that 60% of 400 financial advisors plan to allocate to crypto within the next year, according to a report originally published by ababnews.com. The figure points to continued interest in digital assets among professionals who advise clients on investment portfolios.

The reported result concerns advisors’ stated plans rather than confirmed allocations. It also does not specify which cryptocurrencies, investment products, account types, or allocation sizes may be involved. Financial advisors can access crypto exposure through several routes, including direct holdings and regulated investment vehicles.

Bitwise is a crypto-focused asset manager and research provider. Its research is closely watched by market participants because financial-advisor adoption can affect how digital-asset products are discussed and distributed through traditional wealth-management channels.

Crypto remains a relatively new asset class for many advisory businesses compared with stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Decisions on whether to add crypto exposure can involve considerations such as volatility, custody, client suitability, regulatory requirements, and the availability of investment products.
