Here’s What Industry Experts Are Saying Crypto access as a must-have service For traditional financial advisors, this is a clear signal that their wealthy younger clients now see access to crypto as a must-have service. Firms that ignore this shift are likely to lose these customers to competitors who offer it. Also, more and more investors now expect cryptocurrency to be a standard part of financial planning. The fact that big companies like BlackRock and Fidelity are getting involved is boosting confidence among crypto enthusiasts. The survey points to a wider market evolution where younger investors aren’t as tied to old-school financial advisors and, as such, are more willing to use modern, tech-savvy services that support cryptocurrency investments. For instance, research from September showed that approximately only 20% of Gen Z say they seek professional financial advice, pointing to demand for new models. Interestingly, this year’s EY report showed that 85% of surveyed investors increased allocations to digital assets in 2024. On a global scale, Henley & Partners’ Crypto Wealth Report 2025 states there are now roughly 241, 700 crypto millionaires worldwide, up 40% year-on-year. Among those, Bitcoin millionaires alone grew by 70% to 145, 100 people. All of this shows that cryptocurrency is no longer just for tech enthusiasts. It’s now becoming a serious, integral part of the investment strategy for wealthy and younger individuals, rather than just being a speculative asset.
