The Great Wealth Transfer

The role of Crypto in the “Great Wealth Transfer” and its impact vor wealth managers

  • $80 trillion in U.S. wealth is held by Baby Boomers — and it's starting to move to younger generations.
  • In Europe alone, 270,000 HNWIs will transfer over $7 trillion to their heirs.
  • 72% of younger wealthy investors believe traditional assets like stocks and bonds are not enough to generate strong returns.
  • There’s a major shift toward alternative investments — especially crypto and digital assets.
  • Younger generations are less interested in public equity and 7x more interested in crypto (28%) than their parents (4%)
  • Only 6% of the boomer generation owns crypto, while Millennials and Gen Z already account for over 50% of crypto holders.
  • 70%+ of heirs are likely to change financial advisors after inheriting wealth. Advisors must prepare to engage the next generation.
