Wealthy investors want guidance, but don’t trust advisors
-
- Investors seek consultants with expertise in cryptocurrencies
- High demand for financial education in digital assets
- Cryptocurrency ETFs are preferred by wealthy investors
The most recently report CoinShares’ survey highlights a growing distrust among high-net-worth investors and their financial advisors when it comes to cryptocurrencies. While most respondents expressed a strong interest in receiving expert guidance on digital assets, many still view their advisors as ill-equipped to navigate this evolving market.

The survey, conducted with 500 investors — including high-net-worth individuals and investors with an intermediate profile — showed that 82% said they were more inclined to hire advisors who offered support on cryptocurrencies. However, 29% of participants identified the lack of practical experience and the difficulty of advisors in explaining the risks as reasons for distrust.
According to CoinShares CEO Jean-Marie Mognetti, “Digital asset adoption is rapidly growing among self-educated and actively engaged investors — but that doesn’t mean they want to go it alone. They are looking for advisors who can act as strategic partners, not product promoters.”
The report also revealed that 89% of current cryptocurrency holders plan to increase their exposure by 2025. More than half of these investors trade or monitor the market on a daily basis, reinforcing that assets such as bitcoin and Ethereum are already part of wealth management.
Even so, trust in consultants is directly linked to technical qualifications: 55% said it is “extremely important” that these professionals have specific knowledge in cryptocurrencies, and 51% are willing to look for consultants who also offer education on the subject.
Another relevant point is that regulated products, such as ETFs, have surpassed centralized brokerages as the main way to access the market. Among investors with greater purchasing power, 28% prefer regulated products, compared to 21% who use exchanges.
CoinShares also highlights that investors outside the top of the wealth pyramid see cryptocurrencies as an opportunity for financial advancement. However, the lack of guidance makes them resort to public tools and open sources, increasing the importance of consultants who are truly qualified in this segment.

AI Capital Expenditure Faces a Dilemma: Accelerating Puts Pressure on Cash Flow, Slowing Down Undermines the Growth Narrative
Nomura Securities believes that the AI investment narrative is mired in an internal contradiction: if hyperscale cloud providers accelerate capital expenditures, their free cash flow will continue to be drained, raising doubts about the sustainability of financing; if they slow down, it would indicate a loss of confidence in AI demand and profitability expectations. Both paths lead to sell-offs. The crowded long positions accumulated during the AI agent boom in September have triggered large-scale stop-losses under negative catalysts, spreading to US Treasury bonds, exchange rates, and commodity markets, resulting in systemic deleveraging.

The time window is extremely tight—according to SEC regulations, the S-1 filing must be submitted by next week at the latest, and prediction markets estimate the probability of a listing within the year at around 80%. The sell-off in the AI sector has cast a shadow over the listing prospects, and the previous plan to go public in September has already fallen through. Several market participants say that Anthropic may face pressure to delay its listing, but some analysts point out that the company's urgent need for capital may drive it to stick to the original plan.
