Wealthy US Investors Prioritize Crypto-Savvy Financial Advisers, Survey Shows

High-net-worth investors in the United States are increasingly seeking financial advisers with cryptocurrency expertise, according to a June 2025 CoinShares survey. The study, which polled 500 individuals with at least $500,000 in investable assets, reveals that 82% of respondents favor advisers who can deliver informed crypto strategies.

Trust in professional guidance is paramount—58% of investors rank advisers as their most trusted source for digital asset information, surpassing market analysis tools, podcasts, and peer networks. Nearly all respondents (88%) already work with an adviser, while 78% of sub-high-net-worth and 93% of high-net-worth investors not yet in crypto would consult one before entering the market.

Demand centers on two key services: securing compliant investment vehicles like ETFs (54%) and designing portfolio allocation strategies (54%). Custody recommendations (46%), tax support (49%), and blockchain education (47%) also rank highly. Advisers lacking hands-on crypto experience or failing to explain risks face skepticism from 29% of investors.
