Even though the cryptocurrency sector has been going through a difficult year, the challenges haven’t managed to scare off high net worth investors, who continue to show interest in access to the novel asset class, a new study has shown.

Specifically, 92% of mass affluent and high net worth (HNW) clients have asked their financial advisors about the possibility of including cryptocurrencies in their portfolios over the past year, according to the results of a study carried out by Coalition Greenwich in cooperation with Talos, as per a press release published on December 15.

The research covered 537 Financial Advisors (FAs) in the United States, more than a third of which (35%) have expressed the clients’ interest in crypto has intensified in the past 12 months, whereas 30% confirmed that they already have or plan to recommend specific cryptos to these clients in the next three months.
