A Shift Towards Cryptocurrency in Financial Portfolios

金融投资组合向加密货币的转变

A recent survey by asset management firm Bitwise reveals a growing interest in cryptocurrency among US financial advisors. Conducted from November 14 to December 20, 2024, the survey found that 56% of advisors are more likely to invest in crypto after the 2024 elections.

资产管理公司 Bitwise 最近的一项调查显示，美国财务顾问对加密货币的兴趣日益浓厚。该调查于 2024 年 11 月 14 日至 12 月 20 日进行，发现 56% 的顾问更有可能在 2024 年大选后投资加密货币。

This shift indicates a trend towards integrating crypto into mainstream financial portfolios. In 2024, 22% of advisors included crypto in client portfolios, an increase from 11% in 2023. Client interest is also high, with 96% of advisors receiving inquiries about cryptocurrency in the past year.

这种转变表明了将加密货币纳入主流金融投资组合的趋势。 2024 年，22% 的顾问将加密货币纳入客户投资组合，较 2023 年的 11% 有所增加。客户兴趣也很高，96% 的顾问在过去一年收到有关加密货币的询问。

Among those already investing in crypto, 99% plan to maintain or increase their investments in 2025. Bitwise's Chief Investment Officer, Matt Hougan, observes that 2024 marked a pivotal moment for crypto adoption, with advisors recognizing its potential.

在已经投资加密货币的人中，99% 计划在 2025 年维持或增加投资。Bitwise 首席投资官 Matt Hougan 指出，2024 年标志着加密货币采用的关键时刻，顾问们认识到了其潜力。

However, challenges persist, as two-thirds of advisors still lack direct access to crypto for their clients. Access is limited, with only 35% of advisors able to directly purchase crypto for clients. Many advisors prefer crypto equity ETFs for market exposure without direct investment.

然而，挑战仍然存在，因为三分之二的顾问仍然无法为客户直接访问加密货币。访问权限有限，只有 35% 的顾问能够直接为客户购买加密货币。许多顾问更喜欢加密股票 ETF 来进行市场敞口，而无需直接投资。

Regulatory concerns have also been a barrier, but in 2024, only 50% of advisors cited regulatory uncertainty as a major issue, down from previous years. This suggests a change in attitude among advisors who were once hesitant about crypto. In 2024, 8% of these advisors considered investing in crypto, which has now increased to 19%.

监管方面的担忧也是一个障碍，但到 2024 年，只有 50% 的顾问将监管不确定性视为主要问题，这一比例低于前几年。这表明曾经对加密货币犹豫不决的顾问的态度发生了变化。到 2024 年，这些顾问中有 8% 考虑投资加密货币，目前这一比例已增加至 19%。

The Bitwise survey includes responses from 400 financial advisors in the US. Looking ahead, 2025 is expected to be a pivotal year for crypto in financial advisory, with rising demand, improved regulatory frameworks, and new investment products likely to drive further adoption.
