CoinShares International Limited ("CoinShares" or the "Company"), a global investment firm specializing in digital assets, released findings from its latest investor sentiment study, revealing a significant credibility gap facing financial advisors: while a majority of wealthy investors seek expert guidance on digital assets, many remain skeptical of their advisor's ability to provide it.

The survey, which polled 500 investors including high-net worth and sub-high-net worth individuals, found that 82% would be more inclined to work with a financial advisor who offers crypto-related investment guidance. Yet, 29% say they would view a lack of personal experience with digital assets or recommending digital asset products without risk explanation as major red flags, raising concerns about advisors' preparedness to support this growing client demand.

"Digital asset adoption is advancing rapidly among investors who are self-educated and actively involved—but that doesn't mean they want to go it alone," said Jean-Marie Mognetti, CEO of CoinShares. "They're looking for advisors who can serve as strategic partners, not product pushers. There is a significant opportunity for advisors who invest in their own credibility to differentiate themselves in a competitive market. CoinShares stands ready to support advisors with the depth of its research team and a comprehensive library of insights."
