According to a Bitwise Invest and ETF Trends report, “Benchmark Survey of Financial Advisor Attitudes Toward Crypto assets 2021,” there is a rising interest in cryptocurrencies this year from financial advisors and their clients. In December 2020, the survey was completed by nearly 1000 eligible respondents ranging from independent registered investment advisors (RIAs), broker-dealer representatives, financial planners, and wirehouse representatives.
The 300%+ spike in Bitcoin price to new all-time highs caused a spike in the number of retail and institutional investors willing to take up crypto in their portfolio. The current number of advisors allocating their clients' funds in crypto rose over 49% in 2020, from 6.3% to 9.8% this year.
17% of financial advisors who have never invested in crypto before are looking at getting into digital assets – 15% of them “probably” and 2% “definitely” allocating funds to crypto in 2021.
The biggest motivation for financial advisors to add cryptocurrencies in their portfolio is the low correlation these digital assets have to other assets – helping in diversification. Over 54% of the advisors stated this as the main reason to invest in cryptocurrency. A further 25% chose hedging of inflation as their reason to invest in cryptocurrencies in 2021, up from 9% in 2020.

The surveyed financial advisors also said they were facing a significant uptick in client questions on the crypto space. Over 80% of the financial advisors stated they had received a question from clients on the crypto space in the past year, increasing from 76% last year.
According to the survey, nearly 75% of the financial advisors thought their clients could be investing in crypto outside of their relationship – 36% stating some or all of their clients were investing in crypto alone and 38% reporting they didn’t know if they were investing or not. Only 26% of the surveyed financial advisors stated they were confident that their clients were not investing in crypto, dropping from 28% in 2020 and 35% in 2019.
The financial advisors are also increasingly getting massively bullish on Bitcoin’s price in the coming year as 15% of them expect BTC to hit $100,000 in the next five years. This represents a 275% increase from the 4% recorded last year. Notwithstanding, the number of advisors that expect the price of Bitcoin to plummet to zero in the same timeframe has significantly dropped from 8% to 4% in the past year.
